Inside this book
The words of each page, to read along or read aloud.
Page 1
The evening tram gave a clang and a shudder, and something wet tumbled off its back step, straight into Sprout's arms.
Page 2
It was a kitten, soaked to its whiskers, wearing a blue collar that tinkled when it moved. It mewed crossly at the rain.
"Wait!" Sprout called, but the tram was already rattling away round the corner, its bell fading into the drizzle.
The rest of the book is free to read with an account.
