The Amazing Adventures of Miss Ballooniverse

At Dickenstown School someone wants to take us on an adventure.

But who could it be?

Mr Gradgrind, the Head Teacher?

No.

Miss Twinkleton, the Class Teacher?

No.

Could it be Beryl the cleaner?

Well, it might be...

Beryl is busy cleaning the classroom.

Look she’s found a toy starfish. The starfish has

given her an idea for today’s adventure.

Let’s wiggle our fingers to help Beryl change into

Miss Ballooniverse...

Hello Miss Ballooniverse.

We like your spotty red dress and your

little red hat.

Where are your friends, Balloonbag and Firefly?

Hello Firefly.Hello Balloonbag.

We’re ready for our adventure. I wonder what

Miss Ballooniverse will make?

Count how many balloons

Almost there...

Do you know yet?

It’s a crab Miss Ballooniverse,

a snippy snappy crab.

You are clever Miss Ballooniverse.

Let’s go on a crab adventure!

Little Ballooncrab lived in a tower block all on his

own. He was sad.

She could find some crab friends for Ballooncrab to

play with.

Miss Ballooniverse thought of a good idea.

So she looked into her sparkly balloon and saw that crabs usually live by the seaside.

Sometimes they like to hide under rocks in rock pools.

So off they all went to the seaside. Miss Ballooniverse, Firefly,

Balloonbag and of course the

little Ballooncrab.

At the seaside Balloonbag met a seal who told him that he had seen some crabs over in the rock pool.

They couldn’t see the rock pool so Miss Ballooniverse made a “balloonascope”

There’s the rock pool she

shouted!

And off they went to take a

closer look

Then Firefly remembered.

At first they couldn’t see any crabs.

She lifted up a rock and there, hiding underneath, were

lots of crabs all ready to play.

Soon Ballooncrab was playing “a-crab-atics” with her new friends.

Ballooncrab was very happy.

They were doing crab rolls and crab stands.

It was time to go back to school and change

back into a duster, a vacuum cleaner and

of course Beryl.

And then a bell began to ring. It

was a bell that our friends had heard

before.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Ding-a-ling

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Ding-a-ling

Ding!

Wave goodbye to Miss Ballooniverse

and her friends.
