Book Description
The UK is expected to be hit by a second blast of cold air from the Arctic, potentially dumping more snow on Britain next week. Commuters are braced for fresh travel chaos, with temperatures plummeting as low as -12C overnight. Commuters have been warned to expect train and flight delays and cancellations, while people working from home can also expect power outages. The Met Officepredicts as much as four inches of snow to have fallen in some parts. North Yorkshire, London and Dorset were among the snow-covered spots today as the country continues to freeze ahead of the Christmas week. The Met Office has extended its yellow warnings for ice across much of Scotland, England and Wales today.
Forecasters say temperatures will rise on Sunday, bringing strong winds leading to snow, blizzards and ice and freezing rain, creating hazardous conditions on the roads. She continued to write it during a year living in a village in Togo, West Africa, and later while working as a nanny back in the UK. Murphy said she was "thrilled to find the publishers were quirky like me". "They accepted it immediately, and printed 5,000 copies, and I remember wondering how many aunts and uncles I had, and what we would do with the rest," she said in an interview with The Telegraph. However, the book proved an instant success with both critics and readers, selling out within two months of publication in 1974. Murphy continued working as a nanny until Allison & Busby's publication in 1980 of The Worst Witch Strikes Again prompted her to devote herself to writing full-time.

I think the story is a great portrayal of the power of a child’s imagination. Like Claire, my daughter is going through a phase where she gives wonderfully fantastical explanations about everyday occurrences and the line between truth and fantasy can be blurred at times. Colourful pictures and lots of discussion points about the world around us, about truth and storytelling, fun and fact, in the text. I bought it to use as a class text with Year 2 - it has a simple but effective repetition with lots of lovely vocabulary which will be great for engaging the children in writing their own versions. Great illustrations and children will relate to the simple but fun story.

Playful and creative, this is a fantastic journey of the imagination that every child can relate to. Forecasters say temperatures could temporarily rise on Sunday but this will bring strong winds leading to snow, blizzards and ice and freezing rain, creating hazardous conditions on the roads.

Jill Murphy’s character, Claire, has a very vivid imagination and her wild explanations for her injured knee include wolves, dragons, flying saucers and giants.
