Giraffe in the Bath and Other Tales - with audio cd

by Lesley Sims

Six stories from the popular Phonics Readers series come together in this colourful and engaging collection. Alongside the title character, there’s a hyena ballerina, a spider in a glider, and a seal at the wheel. Not to mention a cheeky chimp with a limp and an ape planning a great escape, all topped off by a series of fun puzzles. Rhyming text and phonic repetition are specially designed to develop essential language and early reading skills. Suitable for reading aloud or beginner readers. Guidance notes at the back explain how parents can help their children get the most out of this book. The book also comes with a CD recording of all the stories read out loud to help support phonics comprehension and rhythm. A series of fun puzzles at the end of the book bring added value. David Semple’s fresh, modern illustrations are packed with hilarious detail that make reading fun.
