Vitello Scratches a Car
Illustrations by Niels Bo Bojesen
A charming, funny adventure with the irrepressible mischief-maker Vitello.
"Full of quirky humour and an anarchic sense of fun that children will love." Booktrust
Vitello and his mum have a new car. Well, nearly new, anyway. And mostly Mum’s. But the important thing is that it mustn’t get scratched, not if Vitello doesn’t want to be grounded, or sent to the children’s home, or worse…
Vitello lives in a terraced house by a ring road with his mum, where the traffic is noisy and his friends are annoying. He’s had other adventures and got into other scrapes too.
And then of course it happened. By accident. Vitello was playing a pretty good game, hitting a ball without much air in it. He was hitting it with a small, broken rake he had found in the shed. He hit the ball, then the ball rolled, and then he hit it again. Then of course the ball rolled away and stopped right next to the car. And of course the car was on the drive, right in front of the house.
