"Peloton scrubs viral ads starring Chris Noth after the Mr. Big actor is accused of sexual assault". The Verge . Retrieved December 18, 2021. Storyworlds offers a wide choice of stories that appeal to all children at key stage 1. I like the way that the guided/independent reading books are split into 4 'worlds' and that there are characters that appear throughout the stories, as my pupils feel like they 'grow up' with the characters and really look forward to reading about what might happen to them next. I also particularly like the stories for the early stages of Storyworlds, because they're not just word books, and the children feel like they're reading real books.” This book was initially unknown to me, but is a favorite of my very fussy four year old nephew, so I decided to give it a go. The book itself is aimed at early years readers and this is reflected in the simplistic and minimal text, however the book is engaging and in my view appealing due to the large, vivid illustrations and comical but meaningful plot. With its gruff hero, vibrant, strong colours, bold design and spare text, this story about looking beyond appearances has a satisfying punchy simplicity and jazzy feel.
