About this title

Synopsis

Two Dick King-Smith stories. Connie Button amazes her parents when she starts to speak - not in words, but numbers. It's like having a human calculator. And Rollo, too, has an astonishing talent: as soon as he can speak, he does so in rhyme, and the rhymes become longer and more complicated.
