Extraordinary Ernie & Marvellous Maud

A wonderfully fun series about two very unlikely superheroes! Ernie Eggers is thrilled when he wins a superhero contest and becomes Extraordinary Ernie (after school on Mondays, tuesdays and thursdays, and all day Saturday). But his excitement turns to dismay when he discovers that his sidekick is a sheep. It doesn't take him long to realise, though, that there has never been another sheep quite like Marvellous Maud.PRAISE for Ernie & Maud:'a tale of patience, courage and, above all, friendship' Sunday Mail Adelaide'just right for newly independent readers, with plenty of interesting vocabulary ...
