Ginny Liquorice All-sort's Secret

SUITABLE FOR 3-6 YEARS OF AGE

 Ginny Liquorice All-sort’s Secret has all the appeal of a novel, highly imaginative adventure story. It offers the engaging elements of drama, humour, mystery, suspense and surprise: all propelled by jaunty music and magical illustrations.


Together with the narration, these elements draw the child into the text and encourage their interaction with new and enticing-sounding language such as the rhythmic and alliterative lolly adjectives including, “cobalt-blue collywobbles-coolers; dewberry doorstoppers; and, frosted, frizzled fudge-fish”. 


Ginny Liquorice All-sort’s Secret aims to challenge, stretch and help to grow a child’s vocabulary and literacy skills.  But the story achieves other learning aims, too. Embedded in the text - and presented in a non didactic way – are some very powerful life lessons.
