      Four hilarious capers by the inimitable Allan Ahlberg, now in one bumper volume! Ideal for early readers, with lively illustrations by Katharine McEwen.The Man Who Wore All His Clothes, Winner of the Red House Children's Book Award, is joined for the first time by The Woman Who Won Things, The Children Who Smelled a Rat and The Cat Who Got Carried Away in this brilliantly funny quartet of early readers by the internationally acclaimed Allan Ahlberg.One morning Mr Gaskitt puts on all his clothes, Mrs Gaskitt picks up a robber in her taxi, Gus and Gloria have trouble with a teacher, Horace the cat goes to a friend's house to watch TV ... and the car radio gets things wrong. What follows is an action-packed, swift-paced and farcical romp as the plots of each family member interweave, ending in a thrilling car chase with Mr Gaskitt saving the day. And that's just the first story...Praise for The Gaskitt Stories"Ahlberg's direct and funny storytelling style makes reading as near-effortless as possible." Guardian "Huge fun and ideal for early readers." Independent on Sunday "A delight from beginning to end. The pictures are outstanding and mark the advent of a really inspired illustrator."
