failing, his dark secret makes him sad and distracted, and he has
nobody to care for him but Nell. The grotesque Daniel Quilp is out
to cause trouble. What plans does he hatch with the dreadful
Sampson and Sally Brass? What use can he hope to make of the
foolish Dick Swiveller? Is Nell's one true friend, Kit, a match for

When a mysterious gentleman arrives in London, determined to track
them down, it becomes a race against time and against the evil of
Quilp. Can Little Nell keep her grandfather safe? Who will protect
Nell? Will the mysterious gentleman find them before it is too
late?

Collins Arabic Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 3 to 11.
The series is structured with reference to the learning progression
of Arabic at nursery and primary schools researched especially for
Collins. This carefully graded approach allows children to build up
their reading knowledge of Arabic step by step. Level 7 books
include story lines with more episodes in time sequence, and may
include imaginary happenings in the context of familiar
experiences. There is still repetition but more variation in
pattern and more new words are introduced than in lower levels.
Non-fiction titles bring in simple non-fiction tools, such as
diagrams, labels and captions. Additional vowel marks that
encourage the flow of pronunciation are introduced at this level.
Verbal sentences of up to 8-10 words with repeating and accessible
actions appear at this level. Double spacing is used between words
to ensure children see where each new word in a sentence begins and
ends. When a hungry boy wishes for an egg he gets a surprise - a
magic egg that makes everything he wishes for come true with
hilarious consequences. But in the end does he ever really get what
he wants? This traditional tale is beautifully illustrated by Karen
Donnelly to set the scene and encourage discussion. A circular
story map on pages 14-15 shows the boys journey and the consequence
of each of his wishes, providing a wealth of speaking and listening
opportunities.
