Collins Big Cat e-Resources are rooted in the books, but extend learning to develop every aspect of pupils’ literacy skills.

e-Resources contain:

• a beautifully animated version of the book, including audio and music, to inspire children of all abilities

• a sound bank to develop speaking and listening skills

• up to ten interactive whiteboard activities and activity sheets to develop and extend learning

• Story Creator software, to help children convert reading into writing by using images from the book to create their own texts

• comprehensive teacher’s notes.

These resources can be used on PCs and interactive whiteboards.

It's lunchtime and the farmer's hungry, but his lunch box is empty! He turns to all the animals on his farm for help, the sheep, cows, horses and geese, but they are all being very secretive. Are they hiding his lunch, or a much bigger and better surprise? The delightful illustrations develop the text, providing lots of points for discussion.
