Itchy Bear by Neil Griffiths

Poor bear had an itch and nowhere to scratch it. In his search to find somewhere to scratch, several surprises await him!Each time the bear finds a place to scratch it seems that someone nearby is disturbed and bear finds himself interrupting a digging mole, a snoozing owl and various other creatures. He finally finds a spot for a jolly good scratch but unfortunately he's picked an apple tree and as he begins to scratch a huge pile of apples falls down on his head. Poor bear!

Six Dinner Sid by Inga Moore

Sid was a cat who lived on Aristotle Street at number one, number two, number three, number four, number five, and number six. Each person who lived on Aristotle Street thought they owned Sid. From six owners came six dinners.

One day Sid got a cough and each owner takes him to the Doctor. He has to take the same medicine six times. The Doctor notices and calls up the owners of the black cat.

They all start to feed him only one dinner, and he moves to anther street were they don’t mind over feeding Sid.
