I am a Bunny by Ole Risom and Richard Scarry

Richard Scarry’s I Am a Bunny by Richard Scarry and Ole Risom

Richard Scarry’s I Am a Bunny – since its original print over fifty years ago it has been translated into multiple languages, including bilingual editions.
Grimwood: Attack of the Stink Monster by Nadia Shireen

Grimwood: Attack of the Stink Monster by Nadia Shireen

Aimed at children aged 7+, Grimwood: Attack of the Stink Monster is ideal for reading aloud to the class. The unpredictable humour will engage and further motivate pupils to read independently. ‘Awooga!’
I Really, Really Need a Poo by Karl Newson and Duncan Beedie

I Really, Really Need a Poo by Karl Newson and Duncan Beedie

I Really, Really Need a Poo by Karl Newson and Duncan Beedie is a great talking point for PSED topics and animal studies. Children may want to join in with the gassy sound effects. Expect many re-readings.
