"This book provides a range of lively and engrossing stories for use in circle time activities, which are specially written to encourage the cognitive and emotional development of young children." "The author cleverly links twelve key value-based themes in the circle time stories which will stimulate discussion and enhance pupils' literacy skills and citizenship education." "As well as circle time activity, this indispensable book also offers poems and suggested songs that can be used as the basis for a school assembly. Over-stretched KS1 & 2 teachers will find the stories and learning activities time-saving in their clarity and highly enjoyable to deliver."--BOOK JACKET.
