Remainder of interior clean and unmarked; colour and black & white illustrations by Aileen Tyrrell Richardson. ‘In this book children double their reading vocabulary. New words are taught in many ways. Some are wholly unfamiliar and must be taught as new words; others can be recognized by their resemblance to words that the children have already met. Sometimes an ending is added to a known word or two short words may be put together to form a longer one. The children are taught to recognize about one-third of the new words in this book by the use of phonics.’ (from FEP)
