ventaWell, it's no wonder there's a generation of illiterate kids, is it ?
In our staff room at present there is a bunch of sample books - they're delivered sporadically by The Book People and we have the chance to purchase any we like the look of. I started leafing through a kids' A-B-C book while I waited for the toaster to boil.
The opening pages described the game to play (find the correct letter, lift the flap to reveal a picture), and described the first few:
a flies high, b rings "DING DONG", c when she's happy purrs all day long
McGonagall is alive and well, but never mind.
There is a flap labelled "a", shaped like an apple. Underneath is a pop-up aeroplane. Well, they fly quite high. So far, so good.
There is a flap labelled "c", shaped like a cake. Underneath is a rather smiley cat. You could plausibly imagine her purring all day long. You're with the program up til now ? Good.
There is a flap labelled "b", shaped like a balloon. Underneath is a pop-up butterfly.
