About this product

Product Information

George the steelworker is working his very last day before retirement. He signs his name on a huge girder that will become part of the [London 2012] [stadium] and his colleagues give a big cheer. But before George leaves he picks up two molten fragments that have fallen from the girder and puts them in his bag. That night, George works in his shed, shaping the two drops of metal into little figures - one for his grandson Jack; the other for his granddaughter Lily. A miraculous surprise awaits the children in the morning - for once unwrapped, and placed on the windowsill, the figures are hit by the beams of a [rainbow], breaking through the clouds. At one, they shiver into life and begin to move. Before long they are attempting to talk and are rushing around the attic room, which is full of photographs and books about the [Olympic] and [Paralympic] [Games]. But this is just the beginning of their wonderful journey of discovery. The rainbow returns and [Wenlock] and [Mandeville] - as they will come to be known - set off on its brilliant beams to learn more about the wonderful country they have arrived in, and the amazing sports that will make up the London 2012 Games.

  • Great bedtime reading

    Even 10 years after the Olympics it was created, my Granddaughter was amazed by the story of the two characters created by a grandfather and animated by a rainbow to spread the word about the games.

    A lovely little book explaining the (fictional) origins of the 2012 Olympics mascots. Great souvenir.

  • great!

    thanks, just what I needed helped with my lesson plan! the story is set easily. the illustration's are lovely and the type is a good size for both a group reading session or a child to independently read. Wenlock and Mandeville are lovely characters and the children easily warm to them. The story has a good beginning, middle and end.
