The beginning of this beautifully illustrated picture book tells the tale of a communal space enjoyed by villagers over the years, and centred around a huge old tree. We meet a girl who has grown up with the tree being an important part of her life. So, when plans for a market are proposed in place of the magnificent tree, what will happen? Children will explore the significance of the tree to the community and suggest how certain people may feel about the plans to remove it. Children will also explore the need for development versus conservation of wildlife.

Debra Myhill, Professor of Education at the University of Exeter, UK "The teaching of reading has always taken priority in policy and practice in literacy. Pie Corbett and Julia Strong have produced a very welcome counterweight to that dominance in their Talk for Writing Across the Curriculum. It is so refreshing to see suggestions for teaching to bring elements of language together, especially when done in such an entertaining and engaging way as this. This new edition makes a 'classic' even better." David Wray, Emeritus Professor, University of Warwick, UK "This latest update of Pie and Julia's best-selling book reflects changes in the curriculum, strengthening the T4W approach, using cold and hot tasks, showing new worked examples of how to apply T4W to each non-fiction type and placing formative assessment at the heart of the process. It is exciting to see how all the best ideas and findings in education are converging, evidenced in this latest 'up to the minute' excellent publication." Shirley Clarke, Formative Assessment Expert
