Product Description

Product Description
This is a brand new addition to "Usborne Young Reading Series 2", which is aimed at children whose reading ability is beginning to grow, and helps build confidence and ability. Robin Hood, along with his band of Merry Men, robs from the rich to give to the poor. But when the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham threatens the throne of King Richard, can Robin save the kingdom and win the heart of the fair Maid Marian? It is evocatively illustrated by Alan Marks, who also illustrated the "Young Reading" titles "Moonfleet" and "The Railway Children". It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a senior lecturer in education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROBIN HOOD, retold by Rob Lloyd Jones, 7 Oct 2008
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
for the 'Usborne Young Reading' series of books, which combines good stories with easy reading text.

This particular book is from SERIES TWO.

From the back cover:-

'When Much Millington's father is arrested by the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, Much seeks the help of the mysterious outlaw, ROBIN HOOD.
Together they plan a daring raid on the Sheriff's castle......'

Durable board covers open to 64 high quality shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format, split into 8 chapters:-

Much Middleton
On the run
Sherwood Forest
Robin and Much
The Sheriff's castle
The Swordsmen strike
To the castle
Fight!

Numbered pages.
Beautifully illustrated in vivid colours throughout, this book is further enhanced by relevant facial expressions and some speech bubbles.
Complete with royal blue ribbon bookmark.
Clear, easy-to-follow-text.

Example of text:-

`It was a sunny day in Sherwood village. Ten-year old Much Middleton was helping his father in their mill. As he lifted a sack of corn, he heard shouting.
Dozens of soldiers pounded into the village on horseback, led by the Sheriff of Nottingham.
"I need more money," the Sheriff declared.
He owned Sherwood and the villagers had to pay him taxes so they could live there.
Much's father was furious. "Only the King is allowed to raise taxes," he protested.
The Sheriff sneered. "The King is overseas. I`m in charge now."
With that, he lashed his horse and charged back to the castle.....'

As Much and his father reflect over the counting of their insufficient money that evening.........things are set to take a turn for the better...... in the shape of Robin Hood.

This super book finishes with a note `About the Story`, reflecting on whether Robin Hood ever existed.
