But how can a horse clean its own teeth? With the help of Colin, the grumpy cuckoo who resides high up in the foliage of the sycamore tree, Norbert concocts a cunning a plan. But will he succeed in winning Delilah's heart? Or will it end in disaster? NORBERT'S SUMMER HOLIDAY It is the middle of July and the summer sun is beating gloriously down on the English countryside. But in Finbar's Field, things are far from rosy. Norbert, the fat old cart horse is more depressed than ever because Colin the Cuckoo, his only friend in the world, is preparing to fly off for the holiday of a lifetime on the French Riviera, leaving him behind The badgers who reside in their hole beneath the hedge are no company due to their nocturnal habits, and Delilah, the pretty pony who lives in the next field, is continuing to ignore him. When Colin's holiday plans go horribly wrong, however, it is down to Norbert to save the day Will he manage to transform their field into a passable imitation of the French Riviera without incurring the wrath of Farmer Finbar? And will he win Delilah's affections in the process? CHRISTMAS WITH NORBERT Norbert the silly old horse and his best friend, Colin the Cuckoo, have never received a gift at Christmas time. With a little help from Delilah, the pretty pony from the next field, they devise a cunning plan which will see Colin (albeit reluctantly) embark on a daring raid into the very depths of Farmer Finbar's house; once inside, he must write a list to Father Christmas and send it up the chimney. Farmer Finbar, meanwhile, has problems of his own; he is sick and tired of spending Christmas alone and is determined to enjoy this year's festivities in the company of Mrs Muckleton, the love of his life. She, however, seems more interested in Finbar's deadly rival, Old Joe Baxter. The last thing the grumpy old farmer needs is an unexpected encounter with a mangy, overweight cuckoo... Far away, hurtling through the starry winter skies with his team of reindeer, Father Christmas is busy delivering gifts to all of the good children of the world, blissfully unaware of the chaos which will ensue when his flight path takes him directly over Norbert's field... Will Colin succeed in his daring mission? Will Norbert and Delilah ever receive their Christmas gifts? Will Finbar win the heart of his beloved? And will Father Christmas and Rudolph survive their first encounter with Norbert and his crazy chums?
