Description

A relatable, funny story, ideal for children practising reading at home or in school. By Joanna Nadin, author of World Book Day book The Worst Class in the World in Danger. Manjit is going to Leon's house for tea. There's lots to be worried about... What if they have a scary dog? What if Leon's dad is a dragon? But worst of all, what if they're having pancakes for tea? This relatable comedy from prolific children's writer Joanna Nadin is perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) children who are learning to read by themselves. It features colour illustrations by Ana Gomez, and a storyline that encourages picky eaters to try new foods. Bloomsbury Young Readers are the perfect way to get children reading, with book-banded stories by brilliant authors like Julia Donaldson. With gorgeous colour illustrations and inside cover notes to help children get the most out of stories, this series is ideal for home and school. Guided reading notes written by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE) are available at bloomsburyguidedreading.com. 'Every child needs a Bloomsbury Young Reader.' (Julie-Ann McCulloch, Teacher) Turquoise Book Band. Ideal for ages 6+.

Reviews

An amusing tale of friendship and facing your fears by author Joanna and illustrator Ana that will go down well with learner readers at home or in school. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub * Manjit is highly relatable because at first he doesn't have a special friend at school, something which can take time. * Nayu's Reading Corner *
