Look I Can Read!

Laura desperately wants to be able to read by herself but sadly everyone, including her teacher, fails her and it takes her mum to show her that, in fact, she can already read. A real piece of propaganda for a 'real' book approach, if more than a little irritating to a lot of us teachers! The photographs are lovely and, as a book to reassure and help children to grasp a much broader concept of what reading is all about, it definitely wins a place on my classroom shelves.
