Description

Book Band: Purple (Ideal for ages 6+) An upbeat rhyming story about bees and sustainability, ideal for children practising reading at home or in school. Lola is a bee who loves to boogie, but the rest of the hive think her dancing is silly. One day, their meadow is mowed and the bees must go in search of new nectar. Luckily, Lola's bop might just help them find it! This cheerful story from award-winning author John Dougherty is perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) children who are learning to read by themselves. It features funny colour illustrations by Pauline Gregory and is perfect for teaching children about the environment and the importance of bees in our ecosystem. _______________ Bloomsbury Young Readers are the perfect way to get children reading, with book-banded stories by brilliant authors like Julia Donaldson. The series is ideal for both home and school, with gorgeous colour illustrations, tips for parents, and fun activity ideas. Online guided reading and teaching notes, written by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE), are available at bloomsburyreaders.com. 'Every child needs a Bloomsbury Young Reader. Fun, stretching, just the right length, full of adventurous vocabulary and punctuation.' - Julie-Ann McCulloch, Teacher
