The grasshopper plays all summer while the ants work – but who will benefit when the weather turns cold? This re-telling of a classic story has been beautifully written by Pippa Goodhart.

Green (Band 5) books offer early readers patterned language and varied characters.

The focus sounds in this book are: /ai/ay, a-e /igh/ I, i-e /oa/ o, oe, o-e /ow/ ou /oo/ u, oul /ee/ ea /ar/ a /or/ au, our, al /air/ are /ur/ or, ear /o/ a /oo/ ew, u-e /ow/ ou

Pages 22 and 23 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.

Reading notes within the book provide practical support for reading Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds with children, including a list of all the sounds and words that the book will cover.

Juan Bautista Juan Oliver, known professionally as Juanbjuan Oliver, is a Spanish book illustrator. From an early age, he drew magical creatures, monsters and fantastical machines. One summer, he even created an entire “monster catalogue,” foreshadowing his future path. He graduated in Illustration from the Escola d’Art I Superior de les Illes Balears. He then spent several years working as a painter and street portrait artist. In 2013, he earned a five-year degree in Painting from the University of Salamanca. He began his professional career as a book illustrator in 2011, while still completing his studies. Today, Juanbjuan focuses primarily on illustrating children’s and young adult books for publishers worldwide. He has illustrated more than 200 books across over 14 countries. “I realized that this was my path: to channel my creativity and energy into storytelling as an illustrator. This way, I can reconnect with the magical feelings of my childhood and share them through my art.”
