When the Weather Changes

Pause before the storm develops and encourage children to use words and illustrations to predict what will happen next.

Following the Two Journeys

Create a two-column chart for Boogy & Tee and Twinkle & Hew. Pause throughout the story to record important events for each pair and use the completed chart to retell the story in sequence.

Why Are They Going?

Discuss how traveling for a holiday may be different from traveling to catch food. Encourage children to listen for clues that explain each pair’s purpose.

Calm Seas and Stormy Skies

Introduce weather words such as breeze, wave, calm, storm and wind. Invite children to predict how changing weather could affect a journey across the sea before reading.

Two Boats, Two Different Stories

Compare photographs of a yacht and a fishing boat. Discuss who might use each one, why they were built and how life aboard each boat might be different before connecting these observations to the story.
