It seems sort of odd to need to be celebrating siblings who cooperate, kids who know enough to do the right thing, and endings that are bittersweet happy, but there it is. This reward chart is easy to use at home and encourages positive behaviour from your child. Display the jar in a prominent position and cut out the stars. Each time your child does something really good, reward them with a star for the jar. The reward chart comes with coloured stars to use as they are and it also provides some blank stars for your child to colour in according to the reasons for receiving a star. Where can I find more behaviour support resources? If nothing else, [Justin Atkin] is persistent. How else do you explain a five-year quest to create sonoluminescence with simple tools?

Samen beleven ze allerlei avonturen, tot dat hij merkt dat de ster triest is en zijn thuis mist…You can also find lots more resources created specifically to support and empower children with SEND and their families in our dedicated category.

As soon as I opened this book and began to read, my eyes lit up and my heart warmed at the sight of these beautifully-drawn illustrations that help to really set itself apart from many of its contemporaries. This story is both preciously told in word and beautifully depicted in picture which combine to make it an absolute joy and pleasure to behold. Bringing plenty of warmth and light, it really does give us the little lift we all need! When a little boy stumbles across a special star, he puts it in a jar and takes it on adventures. Together with his big sister, he takes his special treasure with him everywhere – to the cinema, to the swimming pool and even to the toilet! Perfect for sharing just before sleep but too enjoyable to be restricted to bedtime reading only’ – Red Reading Hub Drawing has been a life-long habit for Sarah Massini which has seen her through careers in corporate design, children’s book design and now as an illustrator. She has illustrated several picture books including Books Always Everywhere, Zac and Zeb and the Make Believe Birthday Party and, most recently, a stunning edition of The Velveteen Rabbit. Sarah lives in Sussex with her husband, young son and her utterly mad terrier Tess, who keeps guard as she draws. Following the success of Pied Piper Theatre’s Burglar Billlast year, this new two hander for very young children follows a similar format. There is little dialogue in Hare and Tortoise, lots of physicality and gentle joking, a neat narrative shape and some catchy songs. And it all sits very happily in the Yvonne Arnaud’s child-friendly studio space.

Give AI a Try!

You can't keep dogs, kittens, or wallets that you've found, and it turns out that you can't keep little stars, either. There's a lot going on in this deceptive book. We have a nice set of siblings, a responsible approach to things lost and things found, a clever practical/magical solution, and a mellow and appropriate close.
