What a great addition to have in the bookshelves of any  librarian, teacher or a parent who has a love of books and wants to encourage children to read.  Good books matter has a wealth of suggestions for selecting and using good books to help broaden and enrich children’s lives and learning. You will find suggestions for using literature to implement shared reading, reading aloud, and strategies to help emergent, developing and independent readers.

If Colin Thompson is one of your favourite authors & illustrators, then you will love to add this book to your collection.  Originally published in 1994, Ruby has just been re-released.

Look carefully….Hidden in the wonderful illustrations are six letters and numbers from Ruby’s numberplate.
