Description
A relatable, funny story, ideal for children practising reading at home or in school. By Joanna Nadin, author of World Book Day book The Worst Class in the World in Danger.
Manjit is going to Leon's house for tea. There's lots to be worried about… What if they have a scary dog? What if Leon's dad is a dragon? But worst of all, what if they're having pancakes for tea? This relatable comedy from prolific children's writer Joanna Nadin is perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) children who are learning to read by themselves. It features colour illustrations by Ana Gómez, and a storyline that encourages picky eaters to try new foods.

A funny little book about Manjit, a new boy at school who is lonely at first but soon befriends Leon, who invites him to tea at his house. Manjit has never been to anyone's house for tea before (which was rather hard to believe) is afraid of having an unpleasant experience. But he soon realises that there is nothing to be afraid of, and has a lovely experience that he wants to repeat. While it was cute story, I think children might find the whole premise of Manjit's initial pancake-phobia rather unrealistic and find his instantaneous change to loving "weird pancakes" a little ridiculous. Perhaps not a great "guide" book for a new child at school who is realistically hesitant about forming new friendships, but a good book for some silly laughs.
