The Big, Bad City

Little Red Hen is looking for Granny’s house in the big, bad city. Should she trust the smiley stranger who wants to help her? • Turquoise/ Band 7 books offer literary language and extended descriptions, with longer sentences and a wide range of unfamiliar terms. • Text type—a traditional tale • The story is followed on pages 22 and 23 by a map of Mr. Fox’s whole route, which is a great way to recap and discuss the story with children and gives an opportunity to extend into further work outside the reading session.
