Fizzy and Bandit: A Bloomsbury Young Reader: White Book Band

A fun, heartwarming and humorous story, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school.

Fizzy wants a dog. Not just any dog though - a golden dog with a black nose and very curly hair. So when a dog called Bandit who looks just like this appears in her neighbour’s garden, Fizzy will stop at nothing to keep him - even if it means hiding poor Bandit in the laundry basket…

This delightful comedy from Ireland’s Children’s Laureate Sarah Crossan is perfect for children who are learning to read by themselves and for Key Stage 1. It features illustrations from Nicola Colton and a feisty heroine children will love.

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. All books are quizzed for Accelerated Reader, and guided reading notes written by the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education (CLPE) are available at bloomsburyguidedreading.com.

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