Vogler Burchett and Leighton Noyes: Gargoylz put on a show


"Da waren zwei Buben und die Gargoylz waren die Freunde. Sie sind nicht in die Klasse gegangen, weil sie draußen waren bei den Gargolyz. Da war eine Assembly und die haben das nicht mögen. Die Gargoylz sind immer von der Kirche weggelaufen. Dann sind sie zu den Buben gegangen. Sie haben gespielt. Sie haben eine Christmas Show gehabt und sie haben der 'woodcutter' sein wollen, aber sie haben nicht können. Die Frau Lehrerin hat gesagt, sie können der Wolf sein. Das war Red Riding Hood - Rotkäppchen."

Max and Ben are in the school play, and the Gargoylz are very excited. But will Ben remember his lines? Will the wolf costume be fierce
enough? And what happens when the Gargoylz decide they want starring roles too? The show must go on!

George spends most of his time with his friends Peachy (a gorilla) and Moon (a lion). Peachy and Moon are very boysy boys given to body-building and weight-lifting.

One day, walking home from another morale-crushing session of Rocks (weight-lifting), he hears some music coming from Priscilla the giraffe's river-boat. George's reaction is instinctive. This zebra was just made to boogie. He's a fantastic dancer! Trouble is, what are his friends going to make of it?
