The Tale of the Whale Teaching Ideas

The Tale of the Whale by Karen Swann, illustrated by Padmacandra, is shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize which highlights the most promising and exciting newcomers to picture book illustration. These notes have been written by the teachers at the CLPE to provide schools and settings with ideas to
develop comprehension and extended provision around Klaus Flugge Prize-shortlisted texts for children of all ages. They build on CLPE’s work supporting teachers to use picture books to enhance critical thinking and develop creative approaches in art and writing. We hope you find them useful.

This book is particularly suitable for children aged 5-11.
