Summary

A wonderful story written by the master storyteller Michael Morpurgo. Read by Cassandra Harwood. 
Cool as a Cucumber is a delightful story about a boy called Peter, who at first seems a little reluctant to help dig up a garden patch for his school project to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. He then starts to dig up some interesting things – a huge worm, a big beetle, bits of china, an old coin and what looks like a giant cucumber, but turns out to be something a lot more exciting! 
This short fiction piece by the top author, Michael Morpurgo, is a bestseller that will captivate kids and juvenile readers alike. The story's charm lies in its simplicity and the exciting world of animals it explores. 
For fans of Katherine Rundell (Rooftoppers), Philip Pullman (The Secret Commonwealth), Michelle Magorian (Goodnight Mister Tom), Dick King-Smith (Martin's Mice), and Louis Sachar (Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger).
