Traction Man Is Here

This is such a great book that I use with year 1 children. It offers humour and quality text. The children have designed outfits for Traction Man, described new adventures using adjectives and written adverts. It's hilarious and can be enjoyed on many levels. Add in -est words (brightest tops) and scientific properties (transparent goggles) and they are winging their way towards expected achievement in writing. Oh and they love the story and pictures too. They don't even realise how hard they are working! It has attracted a lot of positive comments from colleagues and parents who also know what a great read it is.

super funny book!

Otro libro que no encontrábamos en bibliotecas ni librerias de aquí. Llegó puntual, en buen estado y el precio está bien.

What can I say besides the fact that Traction Man is Here is one of our all-time favorites. Packed with low-key British humor, the book is a riot. We see new things every time we read it. The book revels in the way children get completely absorbed in imaginative play.

I only buy books for my grandchildren after I have read them. I got this book from the library and just loved it. It is very British culturally, so my husband (who is British) loved it. My friends loved it and discussed it as if it was an adult book club selection. My daughters distinctly remember homemade gifts that weren't exactly right, and thought the depiction here was hilarious (and the recipient very gracious). Finally bought all three Traction Man books for my five-year-old grandson (by now there was a waiting list for the library copies). He is allowed to bring only favorite books for school show-and-tell. All three went to school with him the next day!
