This book is about
Biff, Chip, Kipper and their Mum and Dad are at the campsite. Their Dad says they have to help on holiday and do extra jobs to get some pocket money. Biff wants to buy a fossil from the camp shop, so she does Chip and Kipper's jobs for them to get more pocket money, but Dad says she can't do that. Later she rescues a photographer's camera. The photographer offers her a reward, but she doesn't take it. Dad gives the children extra pocket money and Biff is able to buy the fossil.

This book is about
Biff, Kipper and Chip were on a camping holiday when their dad had a good idea for the children to do jobs for pocket money. They went to the beach where Biff found a fossil. Afterwards they went to a gift shop to spend their pocket money and Biff wanted to buy a large fossil but didn't have enough money. She decided to do all of Chip and Kipper's jobs to earn more pocket money. Dad says this isn't fair but Biff ends up helping return a lost camera to it's owner but Biff does not take the reward from the camera owner. In the end, Chip and Kipper give their pocket money to Biff so that she could by her fossil.

The main characters are
Biff, Chip, Kipper, their mum and dad

My favourite part of the book is
when Biff finally gets the fossil she wanted.

I would also like to say
It seemed like mum stopped helping and doing jobs when the children started doing jobs. Also, when the family were packing up to leave the beach, Floppy was barking at the dinghy because it was floating out to sea.
