The Magic Pen

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. Mr Big is big. In fact, normal-sized things are just that little bit too small for him. However, when Mr Big buys a big new pen and mixes his own special ink, it appears he has found a magical solution to his problems. This charming story by Hiawyn Oram demonstrates how much fun writing can be, especially when you have a magic pen! The bright and engaging illustrations by Nick Schon bring the magic in the story to life. Pages 14 and 15 feature a storyboard which offers children the opportunity to recap and retell the story in their own words.
