Synopsis

Toddler Bub Tub knows what she's saying - but no one else seems to understand her, until she falls into the monkey cage at the zoo and has a great conversation with the monkeys. Not only that, but the lions understand her too! A charming and funny story that will delight beginning readers. SOLOs are exciting new novels for beginner readers, accompanied by line drawings on every page. SOLOs have strong characterisation and narrative drive - all the elements of a real novel but with a simple story line. Each story has easy words, chapters and short sentences and being limited to 1000 words, each is designed to give newly independent readers a feeling of success. Readers are not dependent on the pictures to guess at the printed words. The stories are presented in clear, large lower case type and text is well spaced. A wide range of stories are all drawn on real life and situations with which children can readily identify. Humour and sophisticated themes make SOLOs suitable for older reluctant readers as well as appealing to the target age group of 5-7. "When we are aged between five and seven we want everyone to be a winner. Problems can be big but solutions need to be creative. We like families to be happy: funny dogs make us laugh and no story should be too scary. SOLOS are stories especially for this age group that children can read. A great series to make early readers confident."
