Suitable for children in Year 1 (age 5), The Moonlit Owl, retold by Richard Brown, is from the Cambridge Reading genre strand Narrative Recounts – a strand which motivates children to explore their personal responses and make links to their own experiences. Each story in this set of nine marks a significant event from someone's childhood. While some of the stories are set in modern Britain, others take place in the 1930s or 1940s in locations as diverse as Hong Kong and Trinidad. Sometimes, when she was young, Jan Closs went to visit her Granny (who lived in Ayrshire) without her mum and dad. She loved these visits and remembers lots of the exciting things that happened. On this occasion Jan and Granny went out in the moonlight to look for badgers . . . This pack of 6 is for guided group reading.
