Whisked Away

by Richard Brown

Published 1 December 1992
A major reading scheme for the teaching of reading and the development of literacy throughout the primary years. Whisked Away is a compelling collection of new poems, written especially for more than one voice. Read aloud, these poems become conversations, chants, demands and spoken thoughts. Strange stories come alive with drama and atmosphere. Notes at the back give practical guidance - on volume, pace, actions and sound effects - ensuring that you get the most out of every poem . . . and every poem gets the most out of you! Whisked Away is one of eleven books that make up Extended Reading Level B, for children in Year 6/Primary 7. This phase of Cambridge Reading aims to develop children's knowledge about language, its vocabulary, forms, structures and styles.
