Level 20 | Collins Big Cat

"Collins Big Cat" is a guided reading series for ages 4-7, edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical teaching notes are included at the back of each book. Ros Asquith, cartoonist and author of many children's books such as "Trixie Tempest" and "Pass the Parcel", gives a masterclass on illustrating your own cartoons - with help from "Trixie Tempest" and others. This is an instructional book in the same style as Ros Asquith's turquoise level "Collins Big Cat title", "How to Make Storybooks". Pages 14-15 provide a summary of the instructions, to consolidate understanding of the book, and as a useful reference for children drawing their own cartoons. "Purple/Band 8" books offer developing readers literary language with some challenging vocabulary.
