Book Band: White Ideal for Ages 6+
This new series from Bloomsbury Education is geared at turning children into independent readers. Not only will the books give youngsters a boost into solo reading, they’ll also make it easier and more enjoyable for the adults helping children as they come with useful tips and notes. The books are short and divided into chapters thereby breaking the story into manageable chunks.
The adventures are lively and fast-moving though told via short sentences and carefully chosen vocabulary: some words are highlighted in the Tips for Grown Ups section on the inside cover, so that children can learn them and their meanings. Full colour illustrations amplify the action and make the books really attractive to look at too.
Written by favourite authors, these are well worth collecting and are just the thing for children ready for reading.
All Harvey wants is a pet, yet his dad says that their flat is too small. But surely it's big enough for a slimy slug, or a hairy spider, or even an ant called Teeny, right? Will Harvey ever find a pet small enough?

Bethan loves the cute animals and often wants things she has to wait for so she could relate to the main character. She has now read this book four times which is something she very rarely does. She loves the idea that it is her own book and a chapter book. - Katie Potter, mother of Bethan, aged 6
