| Summary |
Meet Cleo, a little girl with a big imagination. Meet Cleo, a little girl with a big imagination. In the first Cleo story, Cleo desperately wants a necklace. Her parents say special presents are only for birthdays, but Cleo doesn't want to wait. In the second story, it's her mum's birthday and Cleo doesn't know what to give her, until she has the best idea of all. In the third story, Cleo's best friend is away, her parents are busy, and there's nothing to do but count raindrops, or tidy her room. Just when she thinks she'll never cheer up, Cleo has an idea. In the final story, Cleo longs for a pet but her mum and dad say no. Perhaps the answer is hidden somewhere unexpected. |
