Sparklers Asian Stories The Sacred Monkey

This new full colour Asian stories are contemporary tales set across Asia and the Pacific. Students follow characters their own age in their local environments at school, at home, in the village, visiting local landmarks so they can observe everyday life in another culture. How are their lives different to mine? Who works in their families and how? What are their everyday challenges? With a windown onto the social and cultural norms of our near neighbours, these books are valuable tools to build both literacy skills and cross cultural understanding. Each beautifully illustrated book includes photography of the local setting, an illustrated glossary, country map and key country statistics, map of the story's narrative structure and comprehension questions. Nyoman wants to be a vet, not a dancer like his brother and sister. He escpecially loves the monkeys in the Sacred Monkey Forest. What he finds on the side of the road one day might fulfil his dream or ruin it.
