Publisher's Synopsis
Part of a series for young children learning to read. The stories are based on children's everyday experiences, and are structured to encourage the acquisition of reading skills. Phonic and whole word approaches are combined, bridging the gap between the "real book" approach and the more rigid reading scheme approach.;The first five stories in the series are based on the five senses, and the last one on common emotions. "Where are my stripes?" focuses on colour to introduce the sense of sight. A sad tiger who has lost his stripes searches everywhere for them until a kind zebra helps him out.;The book features activities and rhymes to reinforce and extend language skills. Each of the ten key words appear in an illustrated border on every spread.
