Sid really wants to make some friends but they all get scared whenever they see him. He's sure it's got nothing to do with the way he unexpectedly jumps out of bushes or slithers out of holes, so he comes up with a plan: he'll go in disguise! This time the animals are much happier to see Sid, and even happier with how he helps them all. Sid learns that they do like surprises after all - just nice ones. Illustrated by Louise Forshaw.
