More Good Bits

This further collection of imaginative and engaging short stories will appeal to all those who loved Kes Gray’s The Good Bits and are looking for more stories to inspire and entertain.

From a stunt cat who stars in a cat food advertisement, to a lost glove that finds its way home; from a picnic enlivened by some exploding Scotch eggs, to a hosepipe that turns into a boa constrictor and swallows Dad; these engaging and surprising short stories by bestselling author Kes Gray will excite and inspire young listeners.

Like The Good Bits, Kes’s first short story collection, these action-packed and often very funny stories are ideal for kids who need a bit of support to keep them engaged with reading. As with the first audiobook, the layout helps to make the audiobook exciting and approachable, and the short story form means even the most reluctant listeners will be able to get to the punchline at the end of each story.

Written by award-winning children’s author Kes Gray, More Good Bits, like The Good Bits, is exactly that – characters, actions and settings that together spin engaging stories that demand to be listened to.
