Tomanji and the Leaky Nest

It started with one little drip...

Tomanji has a whole basket of acorns to spend before winter - and a cosy nest with one tiny leak in the roof. His neighbour Bramble offers to patch it right away, quick and cheap. But there are blankets to buy, and treats, and shiny lanterns... so the little leak can wait. Can't it?

Then the big storm comes. When Tomanji's nest springs a leak he can no longer ignore, he learns the hard way that small problems left alone grow into big, costly ones - and that the secret to a cosy nest is a simple plan: some acorns to spend, some to mend, and some for fun.

A warm, funny read-aloud that turns budgeting, priorities, and planning ahead into a story children ask for again and again.
