Review
A Busy Day for Birds is a fun, action rhyme story about fantastical birds. The story is bright and visually interesting and would be great to use in reception class. Children would have great fun acting out some of the animals and their actions; matching names, adjectives and verbs, before making simple sentences with them. They could even have great fun switching animals around and adding new actions, creating new pages for the books whilst exploring simple sentences structure and spellings. Or even creating a large, colourful display with bold words to develop awareness of spellings and associated vocabulary. This is a book which offers a great opportunity for learning across the curriculum. Picture book / Ages 3+ / Reviewed by Louise Gahan, teacher.
