The Jungle Outside : Band 11/Lime

Collins Big Cat supports every primary child on their reading journey from phonics to fluency.

Top authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that children love to read.

Book banded for guided and independent reading, there are reading notes in the back, comprehensive teaching and assessment support and ebooks available. Set in the Caribbean, The Jungle Outside tells the story of Dante and his grandmother, Tanti, as they explore Tanti’s garden.

At first reluctant, Dante soon comes to realise the adventures that await him outside and we follow them as he climbs trees, tastes fruit, and finally notices the nature around him. Beautifully illustrated by Danielle Boodoo Fortuné, this book is a visual feast which will feed the imagination of young readers.

It encourages children get outside and explore, to look at things differently, and to face their fears.
