Pop!
One afternoon, Dave and his friends burst into life when a pan of corn is put on the hob. Bouncing around the pan, at last the popping stops and after a shower of sugar, they all settle down to watch a movie.
Bursting with bright, colourful illustrations, ‘Pop!’ is wonderfully quirky and full of fun! Matt Carr manages to convey such personality to Dave and his pals as they pop into life. The lively rhyming text is perfect for reading aloud, with lots of ‘popping’ noises to join in with. The story also offers a brilliant excuse for making and sharing popcorn, enjoying watching the process, discussing what’s happening and relating this to the book.
The story links brilliantly to learning to count to 10- and beyond! Children will enjoy drawing Dave and his cheeky popcorn pals, numbering and naming them, as well as creating their own characters. A brilliant tale for home and school!
