The Wish Cat

Little Tiger Press have taken popular children’s stories and added opportunities for children to look at the language contained in the stories. A sheet of re-usable stickers, as well as a reading tree and various activities in puzzle format all combine to make books that will be enjoyed at home by child and adult working together. Using the books will certainly help reinforce what is learnt in school – and including the answers (printed upside down) is a help too!
In Meggie Moon, Meggie saunters oh-so-casually into a scrap yard where Digger and Tiger rule supreme. ‘Girls don’t know how to play’ hisses Digger, but is soon proved wrong... In The Wish Cat, Holly wants a kitten more than anything else. She wishes upon a star, gets a cat, but the cat isn’t quite what she had anticipated
In addition to the activities mentioned above, both books have stories with important messages. Definitely worth having at home for anyone wishing to supplement what is done at school.
