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. Cat and Dog love to chase each other - along the street, through the park, round and round...But when one animal is in trouble, the other is sure to help. Shoo Rayner's illustrations in this wonderfully humorous wordless book bring the two central characters vividly to life, and provide lots for beginner readers to talk about. Included at the end of the book, following the story, is a simple storymap that can be used with the children to recap and check understanding. Lilac Band (Band 0) books are wordless books that tell stories or give information through pictures, and are designed to develop understanding about how stories and information books work.
