Product Description

Product Description
Sid, Peggy and Amy adore the two gerbils, Bubble and Squeak, but their mother detests them. A major family battle results, and it's clear life is never going to be quite the same again. But after a near fatal encounter between Bubble and Ginger the cat, Mrs Sparrow begins to see that life with 2 gerbils might not be so bad after all.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Battle of Bubble and Squeak, 3 May 2007
The family has two gerbils but their mum will do anything to get rid of them! The gerbils face all kinds of dangers, even nearly getting eaten by a cat! The book is sometimes scary, like when Sid is alone in the forest at night. But we also liked the funny ending. The main character Sid is quiet but determined to keep his gerbils safe. We thought this book was extremely interesting and exciting. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always exciting! We thoroughly recommend that you read this book. Centipede class (year 3/4)
