Goat in a Boat (Phonics Readers)

Product Information

Stoat is floating in his favourite boat until he is disturbed by a goat who rather fancies a float in the boat! Candy Gourlay introduces Wild Song, her companion novel to Bone Talk, in which Luki and Samkad leave their home in the Philippines for America. The vibrant neon and expressive illustrations are attention grabbing and it’s hard not to root for Goat until the very end! Climb aboard for a nonsensical voyage featuring an eclectic collection of embarked animals, awash in rhyme and tongue twisters perfect for reading aloud. I specialise in the lost wax technique and have recently incorporated enamelling into some of my work.

Simple, find a goat which can be located in the cliffs, mountains or snowy mountains biome, place a boat beside the goat and push it in, finally get in the boat with the goat and the achievement should pop.

My pieces are figurative wearable sculptures, the hand sculpting of them a slow, intricate and instinctive process that can be obsessive.

Every Nosy Crow paperback picture book comes with a free 'Stories Aloud' audio recording - just scan the QR code and listen along! The expertly crafted text uses this rhyming pattern along with strong picture cues to help early readers get the reading practice they need. LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure, DUPLO, the FRIENDS logo, the MINIFIGURES logo, DREAMZzz, NINJAGO, VIDIYO and MINDSTORMS are trademarks of the LEGO Group. Oceanographers might specialise in fisheries, minerals and mining, pollution, weather and climate prediction, or renewable energy. No matter how many other strange sailors they come across, Yak and Gnu are certain there is no other beast quite like either of them.Simple rhyming text helps children develop essential language and early reading skills, and there are guidance notes for parents at the back of the book. The Goat and the Stoat and the Boat is a hilarious adventure tale of rivals stoat and goat, who battle it out for a place in a boat!

Because the books are likely simpler than books you've been reading with your child, they'll have few problems mastering them independently while retaining and refreshing their phonics skills. Our talented team at Goat in the Boat are passionate about great coffee and gelato, just like our chefs are passionate about serving our fabulous food. The repetition and zany story will keep little ones engaged and joining in without even realising that they are building on their reading skills at the same time! We originally had the Usborne Phonics readers (the boxed set) and my son was ready for the next step but not quite ready for the "big" books.

There's a box set of these, but it is incomplete and I can honestly recommend most every book in this series in addition to the small-format series referenced earlier.
