|title=My Funny Family Gets Bigger
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=We've met Mattie Butterfield before in [[My Funny Family by Chris Higgins and Lee Wildish|My Funny Family]] and [[My Funny Family on Holiday by Chris Higgins and Lee Wildish|My Funny Family on Holiday]]. Mattie is the worrier of the family although she is doing her best to get out of the habit and only makes her worry lists when she feels under pressure. Mattie worries ''about'' people - not because there's anything bad going on. You see the Butterfield are a lovely family: they don't have a lot of money but they do their best to be happy and to look after their extended family. They don't have a lot of expensive toys or go on foreign holidays - but they're the sort of people you'd like to live next door to - only you can't, because that's where Uncle Vesuvius lives. He was Mum's foster dad when she was young.

|title=The Wickedest Witch in the World
|summary=The story begins with a young child, living in a small village at the foot of a holy mountain. When he is told to take a small cake as an offering to the spirits of the shrine, he is disappointed as he would rather play with his friends, but he does as he is told. It is a long walk though and he soon grows hungry. Surely the gods will not mind if he has just a tiny nibble at the cake? But one nibble leads to another and by the time Hagurosan arrives at the shrine, he has eaten the whole cake. All children make mistakes, but what Hagurosan has done is a terrible offense in the culture he lives in.
