Chocolate Mousse for Greedy Goose

Product Information

The book is essentially about table manners and Julia Donaldson uses rhyme and lots of adjectives in the story to get children to describe ways of eating and cooking food. I have given this book 3 stars simply because it did not enterain me as much as The Gruffalo and I was expecting something more along the lines of her book being witty and funny. Used as whole class reading for younger children, this book could be useful for working on sentence structure and the use of adjectives/meaning and context as well as exploring cross curricular skills (PHSE)to provoke meaningful and thoughtful discussions - manners, right and wrong behaviour etc. There is an obvious pattern in the senence structure as well as the actual length of each sentence, allowing the reader to anticipate what they are going to find as they turn the page.

Even the smallest toddler will enjoy the wonderfully silly animal antics in this book — you’ve never been to a dinner party like it!This then could lead to a taster session where children get to try lots of food form around the world.

Wonderful simple rhymes accompanied by Nick Sharratt's trademark bold and colourful pictures, which will have your pre-schooler chanting along. A bunch of naughty animals cause chaos at the dinner table in this hysterical rhyming tale of mealtime mayhem.Good manners aren't on the menu at this meal - Duck won't eat his carrots, Moth's eating the cloth, and Sheep would rather sleep than wash the dishes! All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! This would be a good book to read alone for a child of age 5, as because the words are fairly simple, they can make use of their phonics knowledge.
