Recommend me a Morpurgo book for a nearly-8yo girl.

[lovelyjubilly]

I have a collection of them but haven't read any so wondered which would be best to start her with?

[TwigTheWonderKid]

They are all fab ( and most of them make me cry) but do you have Kasper Prince of Cats?

[BikeRunSki]

Kasper Prince of Cats is both my DC’s favourite (6 and 9).


Mine is When the Whales Came, which I read them at 5 and 8.

[BoundByBriars]

Agree with Kaspar as a starter. That’s what my 7yo read first. She also liked Why the Whales Came and Little Foxes.

My DD really enjoyed King of the Cloud Forests at that age.

[TwigTheWonderKid]

Oh, Why The Whales Came ...sob!

Little Manfred

[PawneeParksDept]

I really enjoyed when younger

The Zanzibar one?

The Butterfly Lion

[BikeRunSki]

Twig I know.

These are the MM books suitable for 7-9s clubs-kids.scholastic.co.uk/products/Michael-Morpurgo-Pack-Ages-7-9-Michael-Morpurgo-9789999467988 I'd also add Waiting for Anya, In The Mouth Of The Wolf, Who's A Big Bully Then? The Fox and the Ghost King, Not Bad for a Lad, and Half a Man
