Donna Thomson offers teachers a wealth of strategies and resources intended to guide young readers on their journey to thinking and learning – and talking – through great picture books. This book is needed by any educator or parent who values children’s literature as a vehicle to help students to read, read, read.

Larry SwartzOISE, University of Toronto, author of Better Reading Now and Teaching Tough Topics

This is a special book, written by an EYFS expert for EYFS experts, but its relevance, its wisdom, pragmatism and resources are far more wide reaching. This is an impeccably researched work, filled with practical advice and approaches that will help all of our children discover the lifelong magic of reading.

Dr Richard GerverPresident of The School Library Association

One of those rare penny-drop moments that makes you look at the world through a new lens. Donna Thomson explores our history with pictures, dating back to cave drawings, and poses the question, have we missed a link in our early years’ learning steps?

Andrew KayCEO of World Literacy Foundation

A beautifully crafted and comprehensively written guide, questioning what we think we know for sure.

Donna has done an extraordinary job covering the wide scope of early years development of comprehension skills, leaving no stone unturned in her research. A fantastic read and one for every teacher and parent trying to build confidence and foundation skills in young people.
