Peggy’s party was a quiet affair. Most of her friends had gone down with Whooping Cough and couldn’t make it. So she, Mum and nanny held a very little, private party, which was in some ways better than the manic affair they had last year with all her friends running riot.
After all the tidying up was done, one cracker remained un-pulled. Mum and nanny both said it was Peggy’s special birthday treat. She took it and rattled it and shook it and tried guessing what it was. Nanny was becoming exasperated and said “Oh for heaven’s sake, just open it will you!”
Peggy gave the cracker an almighty pull and out flew the toy, right across the room and under the cupboard. Peggy dashed across the room and squeezed as far under the cupboard as he could. She saw it was a bright, shiny sparkly ring and she squealed with delight.
“Come on out you come,” said nanny dragging her out by the ankles. “Oh what a mess you are,” fluffed nanny as she dusted off the cobwebs with a paper napkin.
The ring was bright and golden and had a big emerald green stone set into it. She tried it on all her fingers but it would only fit her thumb. She slipped it on and arms raised, playfully cried out “I wish I were all grown up!”
“I’m ready whenever you are,” said a voice behind her.
Peggy screamed and turned round quickly, and then nearly jumped out of her skin with astonishment. For behind her, on the other side of the table, stood a Giant!
What happened next you ask? Well, you’ll just have to download this book and join Peggey and her Giant on their many adventures.
