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.

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.

One for P4C.
