Nearly everyone in Marceline's class is going away for the holidays, but she has to go into hospital for an operation instead. However, Marceline loves books and she has lots of stories to keep her company. She learns all about the history of fairy tales and thinks about how she would retell a fairy tale herself. Diamond/Band 17 books offer more complex, underlying themes to give opportunities for children to understand causes and points of view. Pages 54 and 55 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall. Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.

One night at bedtime, Sloth wasn't sleepy. "What if I worry when I try to fall asleep?" Sloth said. "Ah . . . worries," Mama said. "We will have to let them go." A stressful day, a bad dream, a scary movie . . . these are just a few things that can keep kids wide awake and frightened after dark. But Mama Sloth knows the secret for calming worried minds - and as she shares them with her daughter, young readers will learn valuable relaxation skills that last a lifetime. Sloth Wasn't Sleepy does more than provide a sweet bedtime story - kids will join Sloth to learn mindfulness practices such as "shrinking down" fears in their mind and calming their body through breath and simple visualisations.
