Something Blue (e-book) (used book) | Gillian Bowes | bookbook.eu

Description

Mia and Gran are on a mission. The dynamic pair are chasing something blue across the countryside but what can it be? Will they ever catch the escaped pants? Will Gran get over her embarrassment? And will the octopus ever recover?

This quirky picture book is ideal for reading aloud to children. It is a charming funny story by exciting new author Gillian Bowes, beautifully illustrated by Louise Redshaw. It could be used in schools for individual, whole class or guided reading. Equally it is perfect for families to share, especially extended families with Grandparents.

The story allows children to think about the role of re-cycling and how objects can be used again and again. It emphasizes the relationship between Grandparents and Grandchildren and is ideal as a gift.

This story could be the stimulus for topic work in the early years on sustainability (re-cycling), busting the stereotypes of older people. Also ideal for work on grandparents, transport, sea, creatures and the sea-side.

With a fresh, traditional feel to the illustrations whilst projecting contemporary characters for today, this book is a must for all young children.
