‘It’s a No-Money Day’ by Kate Milner

In the second film the author of ‘It’s a No Money Day’, Kate Milner, reads her book and spends time discussing her choice and style of illustrations.  She makes some very interesting points about the illustrations to help the reader empathise with the main characters.

If you would like your child to practise reading aloud I  think it might be helpful to turn down the volume and scroll through the video from page to page.
