This simple, yet powerful text, provides excellent examples of figurative language used to describe setting. This model is an aid to children when creating detail in the writing of settings Gregory is just an ordinary boy who goes on holidays to his grandparents in Tobago. At first Gregory does not enjoy the holiday; it’s too hot, the food is very spicy and his bedroom is tiny.

There is an outstanding illustration in this book for me of Granny who ‘appeared, carrying a big basket.’ The way the sun dapples her face through the straw hat she is wearing is amazing as is the way she holds the basket. urn:oclc:785074706 Republisher_date 20141010013405 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20141007091622 Scanner scribe8.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Worldcat (source edition)Gregory goes to visit his grandparents in Tobago for the first time.

Home > But inevitably over time he gets used to this world, has some positive experiences and sorts out his differences with Lennox. This story shows how we might view things in a negative light without trying but once we do it is not as bad as we first thought. The use of intense bright watercolours helps the reader gain an experience of hot summer weather in the Caribbean as the saturation of the colours red, yellow and blue represent warmth. A contrast was found in the use of light, fainted watercolours in Burningham’s work, ‘Mr Grumpys Outing’. This reflects Doonan’s (1993) point which suggests the use of saturation and tone are often associated with “emotional connotations” (p.31) as the colour of both picturebooks reflects the different atmospheres in the books. Binch’s use of highly saturated colours represents the weather and culture of a different country. An important aspect that adults could convey and engage in conversation with children about is asking what the colours represent. This applies the idea that children’s interaction with picturebooks is influential on their “construction of knowledge about people and the world” (Medoza and Reese, 2001, p.4).

Gregory Cool is a fabulous book written by Caroline Binch. It tells the story of a young boy who goes to visit his grandparents in Tobago. Gregory is at first overwhelmed by all the many differences there is between Tobago and his home land. He does not see the beauty in fields and empty beaches but longs for his computer games and familiar food. He furthermore cannot seem to bond with his cousin Lennox who is so happy with the simple things in life.This text is great for sharing with pupils. Many pupils will have the same experiences as Gregory and staying with their grandparent over half terms, and perhaps not feeling too excited by this. Children will immediately have a personal link to the story, this means that the perhaps different nature of Gregory’s grandparent's location will be interesting, but importantly relatable. This book will be further relatable to many children that will have friends or family members that live, in potentially very different climates or cultural areas and it is great that they can see themselves represented.

This book is beautifully illustrated, so Early Years can benefit from having this book shared as a whole class. It is one of those books that I believe children would like to revisit, so it would be great to have as an independent read also. I would use this book with EYFS and KS1 children as the illustrations are so luscious and the story is told so wonderfully. With KS1 children I would look at geography and literacy and find Tobago on maps and in relation to where we live. We could also contrast elements of Gregory’s grandparents and Lennox’s lives with our own and discuss the differences e.g. food, drink, games etc...
