The Ice Factor

by Amanda Swift, Jennifer Gray, Sarah Horne (Illustrator)

Overview

The weather outside is cold and snowy, but Fuzzy and Coco are as warm as toast in the house, enjoying their favourite TV shows.

Fuzzy loves the cookery programmes, while Coco is a huge fan of The Ice Factor, a celebrity skating competition. But some of their furry friends are not so lucky - it's freezing out in the copse, and someone has been stealing the animals' food!

Fuzzy and Coco have to do something - can they use the skills they've learnt from their favourite TV shows to help their friends?
