© WWF-UKThis beautifully illustrated story follows the swallow as it journeys from the UK to South Africa. Along the way, children learn about the problems faced by the swallow and the people living along its migration route - from changes in farming practice and the drainage of wetlands, to the spread of deserts and the destruction of the rainforests.
This large format, flexible shared reading resource also contains fact boxes, a location map, activity ideas, a glossary and suggestions for language work linked to each colour 'storyboard'.
A delightful, thought-provoking story which will support literacy skills whilst building pupils' awareness of topical environmental issues.
"Swallow Tale is the best produced and most flexible big book I have seen." TES
