The first book we've been sent is LEGO NEXO Knight Monster Battles by Julia March. This is perfect for my 6 1/2 year old independent reader, with large clear text, broken regularly by varied images. The subject matter is obviously to his taste, and the images are a good mix of photograph and illustration.
Monster Battles tells the tale of what happens when the NEXO Knights have to stop the villain Jester and his monster minions from taking over the kingdom.
The 64 page Hardback LEGO NEXO Knights Monster Battles by Julia March is recommended best for age 5-6+, has an rrp of £4.99 and is for sale by Scholastic Books for £2.99.
David Walliam's newest book The Midnight Gang is the talk of the playground at our school. He's an author whose style really appeals to children, and his frequent humour is perfect for my 8 year old, who is one of his biggest fans. The characters are children who say and do things that our children can relate to, and the page style includes different fonts and layouts, so that text is still broken into manageable chunks for less confident readers.
The Midnight Gang tells the story of a boy named Tom, who has an accident and ends up in hospital, where he meets a group of other children. They all spend half the day bored in bed, so at midnight, when children would normally be asleep, they find themselves awake...
The 464 page Hardback The Midnight Gang by David Walliams is recommended best for age 9+, has an rrp of £12.99 and is for sale by
Scholastic Books for £8.99.
Tom Gates: Dog Zombies Rule (For Now) by Liz Pichon is a bit of a comic book or magazine style, with notes and doodles and text interspersed with illustrations. It's a great book for a child to dip into when they don't want to commit half an hour or more to a book, and really good for more reluctant readers. The text is bursting with emotion and you can't even read it in your head without doing the voices. It's incredibly amusing, with lots of shocked face expressions from me!
