"Reading Scheme : A colourfully illustrated early reader"
Level 8 - Purple
Here’s a funny story for emerging readers that will also building their reading skills, comprehension and ability to read unfamiliar words. Aligned with phase five of the Letters and Sounds phonics system, it introduces new graphemes and alternative spellings for known phonemes. An introductory page features lists of these together with tips for parents on the best way to use the book. Young readers will find the story very amusing – it concerns four clowns whose car ride to the theme park is interrupted by a terrible smell – and it will prove a satisfying and effective learning experience. The illustrations are appealing and provide extra clues to help young children read the words. Another good first reader in Booklife’s graded reading scheme.

This funny story about silly clowns with great illustrations had the pupils giggling.
The Smell That Wasn’t Funny was very funny. Four clowns decide to drive to a theme park on their day off and during the journey trouble ensues. All squashed up in the small confines of the car a terrible smell emerges.
The Year 3 class sat quietly (except when they were laughing) and listened to the antics of this silly group of clowns. The engaging text and colourful illustrations held the pupils’ attention throughout. The pupils were so eager to borrow the book afterwards that I had to put names down on the reservation list.
We really liked the questions at the end which facilitated our book talk. Pupils were divided on their opinion of whether a certain person should’ve owned up!... Read Full Review
