Monty the hero - Steve Smallman

Monty the mole's favourite bedtime story is
about a hero, a monster and a magic wand.
Monty wants to be a hero too so he sneaks
out at night in search of adventure.

He meets Herbert the hedgehog and
together they decide to be heroes and
search for magic. Monty finds a conker shell
and uses it as a helmet for protection in case
they meet a monster! And they do -
along
comes a grumpy badger but Herbert uses his
spikes to send him on his way.

Then Herbert tumbles down a hole and
it's Monty's chance to be a hero and help
his friend. The heroes continue on their
adventure and find what they think is a
magic wand -
a dandelion.

They shake it but
all the magic seems to disappear -
or does it? Will Monty's wish come true?
