Which octopus has floppy ears? How do you spot a see-through squid? Which creature stands without moving for sixty days? Outside. And in winter. Are you hungry? How about 3,000 ants for breakfast? And again for lunch. Welcome to the world of weird creatures. Get the facts. Got that? Then read a scary story about a creature that refuses to die: 'Is It Alive?'. Weird Creatures is part of the Trailblazers series, published by Ransom Publishing. It is ideal for older children and young adults with a reading age of 5 - 8. The books are suitable for general reading or as part of a more structured reading programme. Each book is on a strong, popular topic, with a colourful, attractive layout, combining fact and fiction. Each book has a non fiction and a fiction section. The fiction story appears in two formats - one with simple texts for poor readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated "speech bubble" version of the same story, for those who are just starting to learn to read. These two levels of entry give access points for children and young adults with different reading ages. The vocabulary of each book is carefully limited, with simple sentences to reinforce reading skills, which make the books suitable for even the poorest readers.
