I'm Too Big
Suitable for:

This is a lovely simple story about opposites. Two animals envy each other, but in fact each is well adapted to its own way of surviving. It's a good way to help young beginners with adjectives in the new language - and the story themes have good cross-curricular links with your Science topics: 4B Habitats, 6A Adaptation.

This CD-ROM includes FREE optional extra Clicker grids. NOTE: the main part of this Talking Big Book runs without Clicker ...
