Collins Big Cat - Ada and Zaz: Band 16/Sapphire
Author(s): Sally J Pla, Illustrated by Rebecca Burgess, Prepared for publication by Collins Big Cat
Format: Physical Hardcopy
When Ada Higgins learns that a new boy is moving in across the hall, she pre-decides that he will become her new best friend, and plans a loud festive welcome. But Zaz Jones hates 'loud' and does not do well with 'festive'.
He is worried about the change. This bumpy beginning resolves after Zaz's pet parrot escapes in the building, and it's Ada and her dog Marvel to the rescue in an unexpected way.
Sapphire/Band 16 books offer longer reads to develop children's sustained engagement with texts and are more complex syntactically. Pages 54 and 55 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall.
Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
