(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Susie Jenkin-Pearce. Mary Bird is astonished one night to discover her four-year-old brother Billy flying about his room. She wrestles with the decision to tell her parents or not and worries if Billy will be seen when he is soaring over the town. Although much of the story is uneventful, the classic King-Smith elements are there.
