Many practitioners build up collections of stories that children enjoy, and they themselves feel familiar and safe with. Sometimes it can be difficult to move outside this 'comfort zone' and explore new, equally exciting and stimulating books. While most practitioners and parents will be familiar with Michael Rosen's We're Going on a Bear Hunt (Walker Books, £5.99), this week's project gives practitioners opportunities to explore a less familiar book that offers a twist on the traditional tale - We're Going on Lion Hunt by David Axtell (Macmillan Children's Books, £4.99).
This wonderful multicultural book gives children opportunities to make links with one of their old favourites and also see that favourite stories can be adapted and developed by authors, and, indeed, themselves!
