Book of the week

With last week giving us a taste of the summer to come, what better way to mark the beginning of the season than Nick Sharratt's Splash Day! It's the perfect place to start. A funny, entertaining read written in rhyme and accompanied by Nick Sharratt's recognisable lively illustrations, Splash Day! is ideal for emerging readers. It has the feel of a chapter book without being overwhelming and is decodable for children still gaining confidence with phonics. More importantly - who doesn't love a water fight?
