Books with author Peter Blood

Craig is a young and inquisitive crab whose fascination with the world around him gets him into situations which make him feel momentarily frightened but from which he always escapes. The obvious parallel between the young crab and the young read-to child enables the child to recognise the dangers and fun of risk-taking and creates empathy with the character. Craigs days always end with him safely tucked up in his own bed, surrounded by the warmth and care of his family. The question which hangs in the air, though, is whatever will he get up to next time?Colourful illustrations keep the childs attention and enhance the understanding of the story as it is being read to him or her. This pleasurable aural and visual experience forms a sure foundation upon which the building of reading skills can progress.
