‘Go Away Floppy’ is part of the Oxford Reading Tree which is used to teach reading in 80% of primary schools. They are all absolutely lovely books that the children will cherish, as they have some brilliant characters that the children will learn to love.
Floppy is one of the characters that we see reappearing in this ongoing series of books, and in this book it seems that no-one has time for poor Floppy, who seems a little unwanted. This story is quite true to real life, (and anyone that has a dog knows that they can be rather boisterous and wanting attention continuously, and sometimes we feel we don’t have the time for them, but it is at that point, when you become neglectful, that you realise there is always time to show anyone love, comfort and attention).
I couldn’t imagine reading this book with children that were above KS1 as it is extremely basic, but very good for beginner readers, and just for children that want to become familiar with very basic words. The words, pictures and characters are all very simple, which make this a lovely read.

They apologized to the puppy because it was sad that the puppy was rejected.

Ah, Roderick Hunt, what a vital part of my growing up you were.
I’m fairly certain it’s a British rite of passage to read a Roderick Hunt book. They are the books you have to read at school, the ones that will move you towards the entirety of the literary world.
And boy, were they ever fun!
It doesn’t matter how old I get, I’m still more than capable of recalling details from his stories.
They certainly left a lasting impression!

These books are the absolute best for kids learning to read. They are entertaining yet excellent for building up a word base. Love all of them......
