Tom Gates Tremendous Tales

Enjoy a collection of Tom Gates tales filled with school life, family situations and the ideas that keep his imagination busy. Liz Pichon's drawings and comic voice turn familiar experiences into stories with plenty of surprises. The shorter adventures give readers manageable ways to return to a favourite character while enjoying doodles, jokes and the pleasure of a narrator who notices the funny side of everyday life.

Age suitability and learning: Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). The illustrations and conversational voice offer developing readers a welcoming route into a longer book, while older children can enjoy the humour and character details. Following the diary supports reading stamina, inference and understanding of perspective, with familiar situations prompting conversation about friendships and choices.
