Sir Singlet

01 December 2020

Another great story from Dawn McMillan. This is a tall tale about how Sir Singlet got his name. There are enough subtle jokes in the text and pictures to ensure that readers of all ages enjoy sharing the book. The rhythm and rhyme of the text makes it great for reading aloud, while the illustrations lend themselves nicely to modelling inferencing skills.
