The Long, Long Journey follows two tiny European swallows as they battle half way around the world - flying first south to South Africa in search of food, and then north to their traditional breeding grounds in the UK.
Acting as our natural guide, the swallows steer us over many different countries and through many different landscapes - farmland and wetland, mountain and sea, desert and rainforest. Along the way, children learn about the challenges faced by the swallows and the people living beneath their wings.
This A3 book has been written as a guided reading text. It introduces young children to the layout of storybooks, and provides a text that will help to extend their vocabulary, as well as developing their understanding of grammar, punctuation and the use of imagery. The story is supported by notes for teachers and/or parents.
A delightful, thought-provoking story which will support literacy skills whilst building young children's awareness of topical environmental issues.
