Unusual Traditions

Collins Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 4-11 edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical ideas for guided reading are included at the back of each book.
Do you look forward to the annual cheese rolling? Or have you taken part in a dragon boat race? Perhaps you have danced in the street as part of a big street carnival. All around the world people take part in traditions that might seem unusual to some, but are great fun for everyone who joins in! Find out about all these and more in this information book.
This non-chronological report features an index on page 21, and a labelled map of the world on pages 22 and 23 showing where the traditions featured in the book originate.
Purple (Band 8) books contain more complex sentences, grouped in paragraphs of up to five sentences. Vocabulary is more unusual and challenging, and some literary language is used.
