Michael was Children's Laureate from 2003 to 2005, and founded the charity Farms for City Children with his wife, Clare. In the first story Mosop's Last Chance the animals all join forces to try and help Mossop catch the mice on the farm.

His reading is slow for his age so I'm hoping when he is more fluent at reading he can go back and read the book himself. There are six stories in the collection: 'Mossop's Last Chance', 'Albertine Goose Queen', 'And Pigs Might Fly', 'Jigger's Day Off', 'Martians At Mudpuddle Farm', and 'Mum's The Word'.He has written more than 150 novels and won many prizes, including the Smarties Prize, the Whitbread Award and the Blue Peter Book Award, while several of his books have been adapted for stage and screen, including the global theatrical phenomenon War Horse. Fed up of putting the telly on when my granddaughter was with me after school (the weather wasn’t good enough to play out) I sat and read this book to her. His novel War Horse has been successfully adapted as a West End and Broadway theatre play and a major film by Steven Spielberg.
