Dinosaur

Suitable for children in Year 1 (age 5), Dinosaur is one of nine books from the Cambridge Reading non-fiction strand. This strand has been designed to introduce young readers to information retrieval skills. Six books in this strand have been written by Meredith Hooper. Three of which - Dinosaur, Osprey and Seal, illustrated by Bert Kitchen - are concerned with living things. The remaining three - The Bridge, The Forest and The Harbour, illustrated by Peter Kent - investigate the effect of human intervention on the landscape. Each book uses two levels of text, with the second level being more challenging. Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to offer children a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading.
