How highly are you recommending this book? Highly recommended
This is a fun book, which was difficult to read to the class without breaking into song. Jay Laga’aia does it so much better on the CD! This was a book that the rugby mad boys really engaged in and they enjoyed exploring the pictures. The girls were able to enjoy the rhyme and rhythm of the story.
Would be great to use with older students for some writing innovation.
