Excerpt for A Freddie and Jimmy Story - The Christmas Thieves - Picture Book by N.A. Oswald, available in its entirety at Smashwords
This is Ivy Cottage…
And this is Freddie and Jimmy
Early one winter morning, Freddie and Jimmy woke up with a yawn.
Jimmy opened one eye, then the other, and Freddie s..t..r..e..t..c..h..e..d.
Their owners were nowhere to be seen.
But Jimmy had noticed that something was wrong.
“Freddie! Freddie!” he cried, “something is missing from our Christmas tree. One of the golden acorns has disappeared and if we don’t find it, our owners will think WE have lost it!”
Freddie just chuckled.
“Stop panicking you daft thing,” he laughed, “it will be around here somewhere. In fact I know exactly where it is.”
