The saying ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ is thoroughly examined in this unit, which draws links between Stephen Hawking, King Arthur… and the most peculiar restaurant menu children will ever have come across! Resources to support children in making connections between the texts can be found in the ‘pulling it all together’ pack, as can a suggested list of books also linked to the theme, which could be read as a class.
