About this ebook
When a grumpy aardvark can't get to his termite supper because a river is in the way, he asks the nearby animals for help - only to reject every one of their ideas. But can he come up with anything better?

ClimbStupid river!
the aardvark shouted. He listened for a moment to see if anyone would reply but no-one did.
The aardvark had walked all night, searching for a termite hill with several hundred tasty termites inside. But when morning came and all the other aardvarks had gone to bed in their burrows, this aardvark still hadn’t found any termites. So he carried on walking, getting hungrier and hungrier, and more and more sorry for himself with each step.
aardvarkThe aardvark’s tummy rumbled. I’m hot and tired and hungry,
he moaned, and now there’s a river in my way.
He picked up a stone and threw it into the water.
