Wes Magee tells the boisterous adventures of Rachel, her brother Richard, Rover the dog and their friend Paul in the countryside and by the sea. Geraldine McCaughrean describes how Jilly the horse arrives at the farm, meets the other animals, and joins in their adventures. A bright, lively set of stories for children around 6 years old (Year 1-2). Variety books provide a support and an extension of reading skills acquired from reading Duck Green School Stories. They are divided into consolidation stories (The Fantastic Four at Frog Farm, The Fantastic Four at the Seaside and The Fantastic Four and the Winter Games) and extension stories (What Am I For?, A Sheepless Night and The Hay Cart). Can be used in the Literacy Hour for shared and guided reading.
