Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n
At today’s Big Book Blether Mrs Jardine asked if I knew any good books with settings from around the world, so here are my recommendations:<\/p>\n
Early Level<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Hug and other Bobo Stories by Jez Alborough<\/p>\n Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne<\/p>\n Lots by Marc Martin<\/p>\n The Tiger Child – Joanna Troughton<\/p>\n First Level<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Chinese Children’s Favourite Stories by Mingmei Yip<\/p>\n Hans Christian Anderson’s Fairy Tales<\/p>\n The Cat Who Walked Across France by Kate Banks<\/p>\n Three samurai cats : a story from Japan\u00a0 by Eric A. Kimmel<\/p>\n Second Level<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo<\/p>\n Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson<\/p>\n The Call of the Wild by Jack London<\/p>\n Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah<\/p>\n (Would recommend the last two books for P7 upwards)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, here is an extra recommendation for 1st\/2nd level, it’s set in London, England, but so many children have been saying on the blog and in the\u00a0 hub about how we should not drop litter and we should recycle more, so I thought a few of you might enjoy The Wombles series, by Elisabeth Beresford.<\/p>\n Hope you find a story that you enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Everyone, At today’s Big Book Blether Mrs Jardine asked if I knew any good books with settings from around the world, so here are my recommendations: Early Level: Hug and other Bobo Stories by Jez Alborough Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne Lots by Marc Martin The Tiger Child – Joanna Troughton First Level: Chinese … <\/p>\n
