Verity Croker - THREE Great New Titles

All three of these titles are in the Sunshine Books Reading Road decodable series.

Go, Eve, Go! : Eve is one of the best swimmers in her school, but at the annual district swimming competition, things don't go her way. She doesn't win any of her individual races, but in the relay, team work leads to triumph.

Brave Battle Friends: Brave animals have helped people in wars throughout history. This book looks at four animals' stories: a packhorse called Bill; Judy, a clever Pointer dog; a bomb-sniffing German Shepherd called Rex; and a little kitten named Red-Lead.

Odd Fish Countdown: This book counts from 10 to 1 to find the oddest fish around. It looks at where they live, what they eat, what they look like, and some odd facts about each one.
