Brian The Brave
By Paul Stewart
Illustrated by Jane Porter
A very funny story celebrating acceptance, friendship - and courage.
"Let's all be friends!" says Brian....
But Stanley only likes sheep with black wool, Hamish, Cassidy and Lou think black wool and white wool are rubbish - while Tracey and Frank only want sheep with horns in their gang.
Then Brian bumps into a WOLF - and he knows he has to get the sheep to ACT TOGETHER!

"There are SO many ways you can interpret this book in our inreasingly troubled, B-X-T times but however you do it's a biffing, butting, cracking celebration of courage, self-belief, acceptance, co-operation, difference and friendship."
