Overview

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 teaching notes are included at the back of each book. Kind Emma lives all alone in her little cottage by the wood, with no one to talk to. But one snowy night Emma hears a knock at her door, and a tiny voice asking for help. When she takes pity on the little thing at the door and gives it shelter and food, she finds that her whole life is changed - and she at last has a friend to talk to. This charming retelling of a traditional tale by award-winning author Martin Waddell is perfectly complemented by David Robert's atmospheric illustrations. At the end of the story is a two-page series of excerpts from Emma's diary, which can be used to by children to check understanding and to recap the story in their own words. It also offers an opportunity for further work outside the reading session.
