Get a Move On! A Bloomsbury Young Readers : Purple Book Band

A funny family story, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school.

It’s Monday morning and there’s chaos at Maxine’s house. Dad’s got ketchup on his sleeve and has lost his yellow sock. Mum can’t get the car to start. But there’s time for a puppet show and maybe even a third piece of marmalade toast, right? Maxine has really got to get a move on!

This hilarious story from rapper, actor and comedian Ben Bailey Smith is perfect for children who are learning to read by themselves and for Key Stage 1. It features engaging illustrations from Mette Engell and hilarious characters young readers will find hard to resist.

Bloomsbury Young Readers are the perfect way to get children reading, with book-banded stories by brilliant authors like Julia Donaldson. They are packed with gorgeous colour illustrations and include inside cover notes to help adults reading with children, as well as ideas for activities related to the stories.

‘Every child needs a Bloomsbury Young Reader. Fun, stretching, just the right length, full of adventurous vocabulary and punctuation.’ (Julie-Ann McCulloch, Teacher)
