An imaginative, laugh-out-loud story, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school. Stephen Rice is a cereal superfan. So when his supply of Cracklewheat, Corncrunch, Toastyoats and Choc-o-not-hoops runs out, Stephen is devastated.

But there's a competition to win a lifetime supply - if Stephen can build the perfect cereal... This hilarious story from one of the nation's most loved writers, Julia Donaldson (author of The Gruffalo), is perfect for children who are learning to read by themselves and for Key Stage 1.

It features engaging illustrations by Garry Parsons and quirky characters young readers will find hard to resist.
