Product Description

Product Description
This is a new title in the fantastic "First Reading" series, aimed at children who are beginning to read. Perry the penguin is freezing. So he goes on a high-speed round of skating, swimming and sliding around his South Pole home. But will it be enough to warm him up? This key series was developed in conjunction with reading expert Allison Kelly from the University of Surrey. Every title has clear and compelling text that allows children to build their burgeoning reading skills and is accompanied by charming and highly appealing illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perry the Penguin has a very busy day in this super story, 19 Mar 2009
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
by Russell Punter, for the Usborne First Reading series of books.

USBORNE FIRST READING is graded into FOUR levels, this particular book is: LEVEL TWO.

From the back cover:-

'Perry the Penguin has a very special reason for wanting to get warm.
Can he find a way to take the chill off his frosty feathers?'

Colourful and durable hard-board covers open to 32 high quality shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format.
Numbered pages, complete with turquoise blue bookmark to keep your place!
Vividly illustrated throughout, by Stephen Gulbis, and further enhanced by meaningful facial expressions.!
A simple, easy-to-follow line or two of text on each page, including speech and speech bubbles.

Example of text:-

'Once, there was a little penguin called Perry.
Perry and his family lived at the South Pole.
It was always very cold. (Brrrrrr!)
One day Perry found a box.............'

and the contents of this box prove to be a little bit of a problem, because Perry is simply too cold to enjoy them! So he sets out on a mission to get warm, acting on advice from various family members, with amusing results!

In my experience, this has proved to be a very popular book, particularly for the less experienced reader, due to the repeat element at various stages which can be joined in with!

A PUZZLES section starts on page 26 with 3 puzzles:-

1. Spot the Differences
2. Match the Word/Pictures
3. Find the Opposites

followed by the answers on pages 30/31.

Other titles from LEVEL TWO include:-

The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe
The Clever Rabbit and the Lion
How Elephants Lost Their Wings
The Little Giraffe
The Dragon and the Phoenix
