When Oskar and his brother Seb are fishing in the woods, they get caught in a storm. In their attempt to hide from the rain they run into a cave, when they see a big monster hiding in the corner!
Bor is the biggest, most terrifying monster in the forest. There is just one problem… he’s really scared of storms.
With some kind and encouraging words, Oskar manages to tempt Bor out to see that the aftermath of the storm is beautiful and not frightening. Blue/Band 4 books offer longer, repeated patterns with sequential events and integrated literary and natural language.
