Changes

I loved how the different characters came across in their letter writing. It is a really interesting way to tell their story. Many pictures are hand drawn, as if sketches and doodles by the children. As a primary school teacher, I can see children engaging with this writing style. They will enjoy learning about Straxi’s life on Pluto whilst perhaps finding empathy with Jon and his initial annoyance at the whole idea of having to actually write. This book is perfect for the 7-11 age range as there is something for everyone here. Full marks must go to Lou Treleaven for giving children a fun and different reading style. Maybe they will start asking for a pen-pal themselves! I have been really impressed with how eye-catching and engaging books are becoming for children and Letter to Pluto fits right amongst them.
