This is the third book in the first series of the weebee reading scheme for beginner readers. This reading scheme is the result of a one-year study across sixteen schools in the UK with children in Reception and into Year 1. The research was a randomised controlled trial carried out at the Institute for Effective Education at the University of York. The research demonstrated statistically significant improvements for children using these books and the associated teaching resources in comprehension. These books have a majority of phonically decodable words, but most importantly the language is predictable and tells a story. Each of the first eight books introduces a new character known as a weebee. Teachers reported that children looked forward to reading these books and were highly motivated by the characters and the associated activities that will be available in the Resource book published alongside these books. The original concept art for the weebees was done by Rolf Mohr an internationally recognised artist in the world of computer games. These original creatures are designed to appeal to boys and girls and are set in an imaginary valley where there are no cultural or gender constraints. There are full-page colour illustrations throughout.
