Intricately told – with painstakingly detailed, radiant illustrations – this little treasure of a book is, naturally, best read at teatime.” Why do bees buzz?

It could be contained within the classroom book corner for the children to access on an independent basis but it may also be explored as a key literacy text. A cross curricular approach could be used in which children could write a daily diary entry perhaps from the perspective of Tashi with a focus on her feelings and emotions during the story. This would therefore not only be a literacy focus but would also relate to PSHE. The teacher would then be able to explore feelings and emotions with their class perhaps through a discussion initially with their peers and then through a whole class approach. For some of the learners to be extended during this activity they may be encouraged to tell the story from an additional characters perspective.

They will then read the next part of the story and will look for other effective similes used by the author. Throughout, they will learn to explain why particular similes were chosen by the author and will be encouraged to suggest their own alternatives. They will then, through writing in role as Tashi, use similes of their own to describe this part of the story. At the end of the lesson, your Year 4 class will return to the description in the book of the Overseer and will identify the metahor used. They will then see if they can develop their own metaphors to describe this character.

Like most folk stories, this one carries the strong message that good overcomes evil, and justice prevails.This is a very beautiful book. The story, based on Himalayan tales collected by the authors, is illustrated with visionary-romantic paintings, in which sublime landscapes, imperial splendour and human misery are depicted in radiant detail.” KS1 would benefit from having the story read to them and the beautiful illustrations on a visualiser or interactive whiteboard. the story and illustrations would engross capture the children's attention and imagination, whilst also providing some insight into another culture and way of life. These lessons are based on Cloud Tea Monkeys by Elspeth Graham, available to buy now from our Bookshop store:

After university, she became passionately interested in reading to her children and understanding how children learn to read. Elspeth began to write books for children - some with her husband, and fellow author, Mal Peet. Mal’s stories became longer and longer and he went on to be an award- winning author of books for young adults. Mal and Elspeth loved writing picture books together and continued to do so until Mal’s death in 2015. The Treasure of Pirate Frankis one of the last picture books that they wrote together. Elspeth is still passionately interested in stories and the pleasure that there is in the simple act of reading. Elspeth lives in Devon with her dog Pedro. How is the little girl's life different from yours? Why does she go to work with her mother? What does she do while her mother works? What would you have done? Do you think you would have made friends with the monkeys? I have always adored legends, myths, and tall tales. They add a dash of magic to the why, how, and where of the “simple” things in life. For me, the little things are what add up to make life magical!
