Purple Band books include storylines that often reflect character and author viewpoint, providing opportunities to discuss character motivation and response. Story language is developed further with phrases found in traditional tales and storytelling like 'Long, long ago' and 'Once upon a time'. Contains full teaching support including learning outcomes, curriculum links and follow-up activities.
Hello! I am a very tall author stuck on a very small island at the bottom of the world. It's very quiet down here with nothing to look at but the ocean and flightless birds. To pass the time away I write children's stories. Very silly ones. I also try to invent new words. Ninnysquash and Throttlecup are my current favourites. I haven't thought of their meanings yet. One thing at a time!
I hope you like my stories too. I know my mum does. I really enjoy writing them and they always have lots of letters and paragraph breaks.
