More Tales of Oliver Pig
Illustrated by Arnold Lobel
Two collections of brief tales featuring Oliver and his family, first published as Bodley Beginners: they are full of delightful domestic detail:...Grandmother likes to read in bed." said Mother..."Grandmother can read my monster book."..."And she can hug my elephant when she goes to sleep." was Oliver's response. It's good to see these books in paperback since they have proved firm favorites with young learner readers through I do not find the covers particularly attractive even with their full colour.
Nevertheless, make sure that copies are in every infant classroom.
