What do you predict the book is about? Why?
Write your prediction using the following sentence starters:

Task 2 - Ask questions
Look at the front cover and blurb again. What questions do you have about this book?
Start your questions with the following:
Who
What
Where
When
Why
How
Task 3 - Read the book and find the meaning of unfamiliar words
Watch the YouTube video below and pause to read each page of the book. Or listen to it being read.
Write down at least five words that you do not understand the meaning of (eg exotic) and search for the definition of these words.
