Hello Twigs: Let's find treasure by Andrew McDonald & Ben Wood

Let’s find treasure is the fourth book in this series of graphic novels for beginning readers, from the creators of Real Pigeons. The four books – Time to Paint, Surprise!, How are you feeling, and Let’s find treasure, were released together and are different colours, each with a different theme.  The main characters Red, Noodle, Ziggy and Stump (three twigs and a stump) are best friends. They are funny and lively and are always looking out for each other.

In this story Ziggy wants to be an explorer so she decides she is going to find treasure and the friends all decide to join in.  The only problem is that Ziggy is not sure what treasure really looks like.  Each friend has an opinion and they set off together collecting some things along the way.  When they find a large rock they agree that there is probably treasure on top of it, so Ziggy climbs up to have a look.  Unfortunately, she is scared of heights.  Her problem makes her realise what treasure really is and her friends band together to save her from the top of the rock.  They soon realise that nature and their friendship are the most important treasures of all.  This series will stimulate children to appreciate nature and recognise its beauty and usefulness.  Through the stories they are encouraged to be creative, innovative and work as a team with their friends.

Themes: Plants, Treasure, Friendship, Graphic novels.
