Mavey is excited to sing at the end-of-year concert. But the Year Two song has whistling in it, and Mavey can't whistle. To make matters worse, Mavey's twin sister Beth has a mighty whistle. Terrified her classmates will laugh at her, Mavey and her family devise a plan to get Mavey whistling.
Will Mavey learn how to whistle in time for the big concert? Or will Mavey's toot stay mute? In a world where children are under pressure to meet standards and milestones, one little girl learns that doing it your own way is sometimes the best way. Set in inner city Perth, Western Australia, Mavey & Beth's Double Act: Where's My Whistle? explores critical and creative thinking, problem solving, and resilience. Connections to the Year Two, Three and Four curriculum include humanities and social sciences, and music. "Hilarious and kid friendly. Perfect for beginner readers." Aleesah Darlison, award-winning author of League of Llamas and Super Sloth series. "Just the right mix of heart and humour, with plenty to keep the adults giggling too!" R.J. Timmis, award-winning author of MerTales and Jawsome series.
