Monsters from the Moon with a hamper of tasty snacks (as they see it) star in a fun and engaging first reader. Part of BookLife’s graded reading scheme it aligns with phase five of the Letters and Sounds phonics system introducing new graphemes for this phase of learning. A page of Helpful Hints at the beginning explains exactly how the book works and how parents can use it at home to help children learn to read. Monsters Blinks, Jam and Zozo will keep the pages turning and children will hardly notice they’re reading longer words and encountering ‘tricky’ words, such as ‘eyes’. A list of questions at the back tests comprehension and this is an effective and enjoyable first reader.
The monsters from the moon want to cook some treats for the monsters on earth. How will they know what to cook? By using The Monster Cook Book of course!
