Marvellous Margot

Have you met Margot? She is cheerful, helpful and kind - the very best kind of friend!

It's a marvellous day in the big city. The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and Margot has made a delicious cake for her best friend, Oscar! Margot takes her little red wagon and off she goes with cake in tow. But by the time she reaches Oscar's house after having helped all her friends along the way, will there be ANY cake left to share?

A story about empathy which shows that kindness and cake is always the best recipe for friendship.
