Next, they walked along and came to a museum. It is a very special museum called 'Madame Tussaud's'. It is full of waxworks which are figures of famous people like pop stars, or footballers or Kings and Queens.

Hairy Henry and Big Ben went to visit the Chamber of Famous Monsters. They saw many monsters like dragons and dinosaurs.

Then Hairy Henry was tired so he sat down on a chair. Just then some tourists arrived. They looked at the wax monsters and they looked at Hairy Henry.

"Look at him!" said one tourist. "He looks just like a real monster."
Then Hairy Henry moved.
"Aaagh!" shouted the people. "The monster is alive!"
They ran out of the museum in panic.
"Monster!" they shouted, "it's a monster - run! quick!"

"Okay," said Big Ben. "What's next? Oh, I know! Come on!"

Madame Tussaud's is a special museum in London. It has models of famous people made out of wax. Why not take a virtual tour of Madame Tussaud's? Read the next page of the story.
