Mrs Wobble the Waitress [Happy Families Series]

Product Information

This fascinating and unusual picture book story tells the story of Olga, a kiosk owner who spends so long in her workplace she becomes part of it.

This is a good book to help spark imaginative ideas from year 2 pupils to then discuss, model and use in creative writing. This fun story with short chapters and rich language works well as a year 2 class reader or a read-aloud for the end of the day. Mrs Wobble gets the sack from her job as a waitress because she wobbles and spills food over everyone. Two boys hypnotise their headteacher and create an alter ego – Captain Underpants – with wedgie power – fighting for good against evil. A brilliant collection of books for year 2 children to read in school or share at home, these stories will appeal to children who love animals and pets.A good book to inspire classroom penpals, non-fiction writing and ICT-related activities, this is also a well-paced and accessible text that will work well as a class reader in year 2. this book can be used to retell the story orally, though shared and guided reading the children can reinforce and apply their word level skills. This is a useful book to help discuss feelings and emotions with infant pupils – especially during circle time. This spectacularly imaginative picture book will spark endless conversations, ideas, and inspiration for creative writing and artwork in Year 2. The wolf, witch, and giant are dissected with a series of clues, strengths, weaknesses, personality traits, and physical attributes.

Traditional fairy tales, such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs are reworked in these extremely funny stories about a wolf who has some trouble making pancakes. Wesley decides to create his own country, language, food, and civilisation – all in his back garden.

The story is told in a light hearted way and throughout the story you are hooked, just to see what happens next. A useful book to explore in Year 2 PHSE lessons, this book will help teachers and pupils decide what to do when practical jokes go wrong, and how to avoid situations where neither person is prepared to lose face. The story is great and I like the way it is showing children that we are all unique and can have problems beyond our control.
