garden,then their kite in a tree,and finally their sailing boat gets stuck in the middleof a pond.Tom then uses his amazing gift of whistling to charm the birds sothat they get back the kite and the boat.He then charms the fierce dog in thegarden while he safely retrieves the football.The other children are so  \nimpressed they decide not to have an order of seniority in their group anymore-they are all number 1.  \nTalk together  \nLook at the cover and read the title together.Ask,\"What do you think thestory will be about?\"Look through the book together,focusing on thellustrations,and
