Collins Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 4-7 edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical ideas for guided reading are included at the back of each book. Collins' celebrity gardening author demonstrates with her son, Harry, how to make a garden, step-by-step, in an old wheelbarrow. Pages 14-15 provide a photographic summary of the instructions, to consolidate understanding of the book, and as a useful reference for children making their own garden. Blue (Band 4) books contain sentences of approximately eight to ten words, grouped into short paragraphs. Longer, repeated patterns are used in the story with sequential events and integrated literary and natural language
