Little Mo - Martin Waddell

Little Mo likes the ice, even though, at first, she keeps falling over. Then the Big Ones, her friends, come along. Initially they are helpful, picking her up and then sliding and gliding around the ice with her - and she loves it. But then the Big Ones get too boisterous and they knock Little Mo over and forget about her. She starts to cry, but, after a while, the Big Ones get tired and go off home, leaving Little Mo on her own to slide about on the ice again. And she has a wonderful time.;Martin Waddell has also written "Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?"
