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. Mole sets out to see the wind. He sees Bee blowing about. He sees a packet blowing over Mouse. He sees a towel blowing in Deer's antlers. He sees Toad blowing about on a reed. But he doesn't see the wind! The delightful illustrations develop the text with wit and humour, providing lots of points for discussion. A story map at the end shows Mole's journey and safe return home. Red B level (Band 2B) offer emergent readers simple but varied text with familiar objects and actions, combined with simple story development and a satisfying conclusion.
