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. Illustrated with clear photographs, this book informs early readers about the wind by showing its effects, such as a kite blowing in the air and sailboats at sea. Each page has a different wind action, with photos that will prompt questions and discussions. A final double page spread shows the different kinds of wind, from light to strong, via a series of photos. Yellow (Band 3) books offer varied sentences structure and natural language.
