Happy Hoppy’S Orchestra and Other Stories

By Victoria Billingsley

Happy Hoppys Orchestra and Other Stories is Victoria Billingsleys collection of tales about children and animals, such as Happy Hoppy himself, a rabbit who simply cant stop singing. But he finds he is not the only animal with a musical gift. Here children will also learn how twin ducklings Jake and Jack managed to lose their yellow but gain from the experience.

As for Laura Cousins, a bored child with a room full of toys, she finds herself spirited away to a strange land where nothing is straight and everything is different. On her return, Laura is also different. In another tale, set many centuries ago, the various birds and beasts respond to a mysterious noise, whose source becomes apparent.

The stories reflect the authors love of children and animals, and the way we learn from experience.
