Monsters' Nonsense: The Green Gobbler: Practise phonics with non-words

by Peter Bently, Ducan Beedie (Illustrations)

Learn to speak Monsters' Nonsense and practise your phonic skills in four fabulous adventures with PemPem, Nid, San and Gop on the wondrous Planet Pok!

Monsters' Nonsense is designed for children to practice decoding nonsense words within a fun and exciting story. The adult reads the main narrative whilst the child is encouraged to read the monsters' language in speech bubbles. These 'non words' help them practise their emerging phonics skills at a level that is right for them.

Brought to life by award-winning author Peter Bently and Duncan Beedie's comic book style, each story stars one of the monsters cast in a leading role. This series creates a valuable shared reading experience and will inspire any child to become a monster reader!

Parents should be warned that the premise begins with Nid eating marshmallows until he is sick. Maybe not the best role model.

Kind of cute.
