Teacher packs

Teachers can download this resource for STICKY PINES: The Bigwoof Conspiracy. It contains lots of fun puzzles for kids and drawing prompts. Teacher Mrs M has also created a fantastic set of education resources for the book, which I wholeheartedly recommend. You can download them here.

I'd definitely also recommend this 9+ ‘Reading for Pleasure’ Tube map, created by teacher Dean Boddington for KS2 readers. The map, which is free to download and print out, has lots of great book recommendations for children to expand their reading beyond the most famous authors. You'll find STICKY PINES on the Anthony Horowitz line (!), along with loads of other recommendations for new MG reads for your class.
