The Wolves in the Walls
Author: Neil Gaiman
Illustrator: Dave McKean
Interesting for PSHCE. How do the wolves feel? Also would be great for persuasive writing - write a note persuading the family that there are wolves in the walls.

The Tunnel

Complex and question provoking. A brother and sister find they really do care for each other.

Mr Gumpy's Outing
Author: John Burningham
Illustrator: John Burningham
The most beautiful pictures in any book. The story follows the inevitable conclusions of many animals in a river boat.
Story sack ideas: A figure of Mr Gumpy, toys or pictures for the various animals, a non fiction book on rivers, a tea set.

Author: David Mckee
Illustrator: David Mckee
Great to think about why Bernard's parents are ignoring him and how he usually behaves.
One for P4C.
