June Crebbin

A little girl and her mother board the train in town and set off on a journey through the countryside. As they travel, the girl looks out of the window, asking "What shall I see? What shall I see?" And what does she see? Sheep, cows, horses and much more!

This highly accessible collection is divided into seven sections, so you can visit lots of animals, enjoy playtime, meet the family, sit down at mealtimes, read some fun and nonsense, go on outings and then curl up for bedtime. Each section is illustrated in full colour by a different illustrator whose lively and vivacious images perfectly capture the atmosphere of the poems.

Suitable for children in Year 2 (age 6), Cutting and Sticking is from the Cambridge Reading genre strand Stories with Familiar Settings, a strand where children can identify with the setting and characters and make links with their own experiences. Cutting and Sticking is one of nine books written by June Crebbin and illustrated by Peter Kavanagh. Each story centres on the everyday lives of children from two neighbouring families. Young readers will easily relate to the kind of situations in which the children find themselves, and will enjoy meeting the same characters across the nine books. Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) offers fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to introduce children to a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading.
