Collins Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 4-11 edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical ideas for guided reading are included at the back of each book. When the princess accidentally drops her ball in the pond she doesn't expect a frog to bring it back to her, and certainly doesn't expect the frog to follow her home! But is the frog really all he seems? This wordless version of the traditional tale is stunningly illustrated by author and illustrator Chris Fisher. The storyboard on pp.14-15 shows the frog's transformation into a prince, allowing children to re-cap and retell the story. Lilac/Band 0 books are wordless books that tell a story through pictures and are designed to develop understanding about how stories work. Ideas for guided reading at the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
