Dave Pigeon: WORLD BOOK DAY 2023 AUTHOR: 1

Product Information

It provides a fantastic opportunity to focus on reading for pleasure, supporting children's autonomy in book choice, and embedding a habit of reading that brings a wide range of benefits. Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots.

Another hilarious combination of engaging plot, silly jokes and wonderful illustrations from the Dave Pigeon team, which means that this sequel is just as good as the original. Our Words for Life site is packed with ideas for fun, family activities that support children's reading, writing and speaking at home. Aided by Skipper (typing the story as it happens), Dave also aims to defeat his nemesis Mean Cat - even if it means changing his epic plans, here and there. Consult our directory of authors and storytellers to help plan a school visit (virtual or in-person) in the coming year. In the Who Let The Gods out series, Maz Evans cleverly makes us laugh and cry in equal measure – something that takes great skill - and has resulted in her building a huge following of devoted fans.Swapna Haddow has devised an original new character in Dave Pigeon, who’s not the cleverest at working out plans, and the dialogue between Dave and Skipper is very funny. Make a difference this World Book Day by gifting a Literacy Toolkit to a local primary school or community group, to support children’s literacy skills in your area. Children will laugh themselves silly at Dave, and the expressive illustrations complete a perfect funny book for younger readers. The quiz was aimed at pupils aged 8 to 12, and featured two rounds of questions (one football-themed, one reading-themed). Like the other books in the series, itcombines an exciting plot and courageous characters who are bound together with friendship and loyalty.

The occasional breaks in the story as Dave and Skipper converse back and forth in speech bubbles is cleverly done and the evolution of their plan to expel Mean Cat resulting in lots of revisions and crossings out is another clever additional to the book. Some of the funniest books around are children's books, so you're in for a treat with these favourites below. This series, which is packed full of superhero references, is engaging from the very first page and has a plot that will keep you reading past your bedtime.
