Book Reviews of The Castle That Jack Built (Usborne First Reading)
Book Review: A good test for the memory in this super book
Summary: 5 Stars
from the 'Usborne Young Reading' series of books, which combines good stories with easy reading text.
This particular book is : LEVEL THREE.....and remains one of the favourite titles in our reading corner, because of the 'all join-in' interaction it oozes!
From the back cover:-
'There's gold in the castle that Jack built - and a greedy dragon wants it. One thing leads to another in this new version of the classic nursery rhyme given a fairytale twist.'
Durable board covers open to 48 high quality shiny pages, of which the first two introduce the main 'characters'.
Numbered pages.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, by Mike Gordon, and further enhanced by relevant facial expressions.
Complete with silver grey ribbon bookmark!
Clear easy-to-follow-text.
Example of text:-
'This is the castle that Jack built.
This is the gold that sat in the castle that Jack built.
This is the dragon who stole the gold that sat in the castle that Jack built.
This is the wagon that followed the dragon who stole the gold that sat in the castle that Jack built....'
and so the tale carries on towards a breathless ending!
Look out for the troll with the scritchy itch!
Some of the other recommended books from LEVEL THREE include:-
The Dinosaur Who Lost His Roar
The Gingerbread Man
The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs
The Little Red Hen
The Enormous Turnip
as shown inside the front covers.
