Previously, by Allen Ahlberg and Bruce Ingram

I had the pleasure of reading a wonderful picture book today, Previously., a delightful tale that leads us back through the life events of several fairy tale characters, starting with Goldilocks. The way the story segues into different characters is very clever and seamless, one flowing naturally into another. An ideal book for working on perfect progressive and progressive tenses with children and an enjoyable story too. The illustrations, although deceptively simple, are bright and colourful and demonstrate what's happening in the text very well. A great addition to any primary school library/classroom.
