DD brings home a reading book from school once or twice a week which she is supposed to read aloud to me and answer questions about. She is very good at it and is doing well, improving all the time. This week's book is a factual book about cars. It contains the words 'Ferrari' and 'Bugatti' several times, as well as a whole page about James Bond films, with details of ejector seats etc. Do most 5 year olds watch Bond films?! DD certainly doesn't! She did read the book quite well but found it difficult and I found it really hard trying to explain to her what it was all about.
I'm not going to do anything about it (apart from a brief note in her reading record to say she didn't enjoy the book) but I did find it very odd!

Is it me or is this a really odd reading book to give to a reception child?
