Hal the highwayman - June Crebbin

A lively and engaging Starters title for
beginner readers illustrated by acclaimed picture book artist Polly Dunbar, with a friendly
text and stylish two-colour illustrations.

Hal the Highwayman is part of Walker Starters, the wonderfully fun and friendly series for beginner readers. Hal wants to be a fearsome highwayman - but he's very clumsy and isn't at all scary. So he signs up for Dick Turpin's School for Highwayman. Lessons start at once! This is a charming and witty story told through
a range of writing styles, including hand-lettered speech bubbles,
postcards and posters. The illustrations, which appear on every page,
are lively and stylish, and play an active part in helping children
understand the text.
