The four adjectives in each story include:

• Elephant to the Rescue (Mala the Elephant): big, little, wet, dry
• A Home of his Own (Zak the Mouse): full, empty, open, shut
• Nowhere to Hide (Saba the Zebra): long, short, tall, small
• Time to Play (Pinda the Lion Cub): dirty, clean, dark, light

Use this pack to develop children's understanding of basic verbs. Each verb is repeated several times in various situations to reinforce the child's understanding of its meaning and the finger puppets of the four central characters are excellent for 'doing' the actions in the stories.

This is a very practical resource for teachers of young students, particularly those with special needs. The book can be used separately or as part of a phonics program. Most of the exercises in each section are short and the book is an ideal resource for the teacher to use when students have finished tasks and have spare time.
