Thanks Jon. What did you think about Emily Gravett's illustrations? Helen wasn't sure about Wolves.

Jon Saunders | 15 comments I haven't read Wolves but I thought her illustrations in Cave Baby were great. The style gives a good sense of texture and movement and although I thought that in the middle of the book the colours and tones were a little dark they really made the bright colours used at the end of the book stand out.

Her website http://www.emilygravett.com/ has games and resources on it, which could be very useful to introduce her books with.

I'm glad they helped! I'm proud of that guide. I had to re-learn how to take screen shots to write it!

Great review, as always! I was delighted to see that some poems by Shel Silverstein that were unpublished at his death have been selected by his family for publication: Every Thing on It

I agree; the onomatopoeia (tick tock) etc makes it a great book for EYFS- the isolating sound aspect of phonics would benefit. Children could make simple instruments to play along while the teacher read the book.

Dr Seuss books are often very popular with children who are reluctant to read. The rhyme and rhythm carry them along, and the wacky illustrations are always engaging!

Great reviews, Helen and Miayruffah. I'm glad you enjoyed Cave Baby's illustrations, Helen; Emily Gravett is one of my favourite new author/ illustrators. Look out for Meerkat Mail! Miayruffah, I remember the joy as a teacher of Oxford Reading Tree after the tedium of some other reading scheme books...

u1124876 UEL | 27 comments Hi Alison,

I did find Emily Gravett's illustrations much more agreeable in Cave Baby and was pleasantly surprised to see two such major names collaborating together in this book.

I have seen Meerkat Mail on Amazon and will invest in it as you recommend it.

Thank you as always

Children love stories about naughty children- it's sort of wish fulfilment, I think! And short stories mean that confident readers at the end of Y1 can often read them with enjoyment.

Thanks Nasima! I love Anushka Ravishankar's poetry. I like the look of Tanka Tanka Skunk, and I'd suggest Kaye Umansky's Pongwiffy books; very funny early chapter books.
