Q: Who wants their FIVE STAR funny story included in Oakfield School’s story book?
A: EVERYONE!
But what will Tom write about? Inspiration strikes when he looks at his excellent collection of ODD OBJECTS and remembers the funny stories behind each one. Starting with Great Great Aunt Aggie’s fake bird hat, the weird stone with a hole and his very special doodle pen.
