Description

Paper Chase by Julia Donaldson and Victoria Sandøy is a beautifully illustrated children’s picture book that brings together a story of friendship, adventure and the fascinating journey of paper.

James and Ginger meet beneath a tall tree and spend a wonderful day playing together. When they are unexpectedly parted, the tree begins its own remarkable journey, eventually becoming paper used for books, cards, bags and more. As the story unfolds, children can follow the journey of one tree while discovering how a familiar material is made and used in everyday life.

Julia Donaldson’s gentle rhyming text makes this a wonderful read-aloud story, while Victoria Sandøy’s detailed illustrations give children plenty to look at, discuss and discover.

Early environmental awareness: Children can begin to think about where everyday objects come from and why trees and natural resources are important.

Social and emotional development: James and Ginger’s friendship gives children opportunities to talk about connection, separation, memories and finding their way back to someone they care about.

Sequencing and comprehension: Following the tree from the forest through paper-making and into everyday objects helps children understand a sequence of events and cause and effect.

Observation skills: The detailed illustrations encourage children to look closely, spot changes and discuss what is happening across the pages.
