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. This is a hilarious fantasy story about two monkeys, Mojo and Weeza, who discover a funny thing. But what exactly is it? They try to find out - and after several guesses decide it's a bath - although we know all along that it's actually an umbrella. Vibrant illustrations bring the monkeys and their problem vividly to life - watch as the sky darkens page by page and the rain beings to fall! The storyboard on pages 14 and 15 allows children to retell the story in their own words. Blue (Band 4) books offer longer, repeated patterns with sequential events and integrated literary and natural language.
