A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month May 2023
Oscar loves story time with his older sister. Oscar listen to the words and ‘reads’ the pictures which give him everything he needs to play inventive games about the characters with his sister. But then his sister comes home from school with a book told in words without pictures. Can Oscar still share stories with her?
Oscar soon learns that when his sister reads the words aloud they inspire his imagination in brilliant new ways. A gentle introduction to reading in its widest sense.
When Oscar's older sister starts reading books with no pictures in them, Oscar worries she'll never share picture books with him again... Oscar loves story time, but best of all he loves the pictures in his books and the games he plays with his big sister, based on the characters. So when she comes home from school one day with a book that only has words, he doesn't understand.
