Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

About the author: Pamela Butchart As a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets, have a mum and dad who were bonkers, and go to The Best Most Awesome Primary School in the WorldTM.

As a student, Pamela’s student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist, and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band. Now, Pamela teaches philosophy to teenagers and spends all day pondering questions such as, ‘Is time travel possible?’ and ‘How do I know I’m not really a robot?’ The stories write themselves really. She lives in Dundee with her husband, Andy and their two cats, Bear & Carlos. Carlos only has one eye and is Pamela’s hero.

About the illustrators of Pamela Butchart’s books:

Gemma Correll Gemma went to school in Suffolk, where she spent most of her time drawing, cutting out and sticking and making her own comics, and wearing ‘My Little Pony’ rollerskates. Twenty-four years later, she’s still drawing, making collages and producing comics. She graduated from the Norwich school of Art and Design in 2006, specialising in Illustration. She now

works as a freelance illustrator.

Thomas Flintham Thomas Flintham studied BA Fine Art at De Montfort University and also has a Masters degree in Illustration. He works digitally, drawing straight into his computer with his Wacom tablet, and in the old fashioned way on paper with brush and ink and drawing pens. He enjoys disappearing into his own imagination in search of new characters, worlds and ideas to draw. His work

is influenced by his interest in all kinds of books, films, comics and Japanese video games. He lives in London.

Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

Introducing these books by Pamela Butchart These books are great to read aloud to your group or for children to read for themselves. Once they have read one they’ll want to read more – the books have lots of humour, likeable characters, and much to think about.

Talking about the books: some book-talk questions Get everyone to share their first responses. This could be with the whole group or class – or children could discuss in small groups, and then share feelings and questions with everyone. Ask lots of open questions to get people talking and encourage discussion about feelings and responses to the story, the characters, and the way the story is told with lots of illustrations linking in with the text. There are no right or wrong answers to any of the questions – everyone will have their own feelings and opinions about the book, and the things they like, or don’t like! Here are some questions to get you going:

o What did you like about the book/s? o Was there anything that you disliked? o Was there anything that really got you smiling? o Was there anything that puzzled you? o Were there any patterns – any connections – that you noticed, especially when

you’d read more than one book? o Who was your favourite character? o What did you think was the funniest thing in the book? Was there anything

you found scary? o How would you describe these books to a friend? o What did you think about the beginning and the ending of each book – did the

beginning get you interested? How did you feel at the end?

Enjoy all of these Pamela Butchart books! For younger children – illustrated by Gemma Correll

Pugly Bakes a Cake 978-0857635990 Pugly is a pug with aspirations and dreams. While his owner is at school, he bakes cakes, builds space rockets and solves crimes. Things never go entirely to plan, though... Funny, sweet stories for 5/6 year olds

I licked Maddy goodbye when she left for school and then I got started on my BEST IDEA EVER. I was going to make a CAKE and send it to this brilliant TV show where everyone makes cakes in a big tent! TALK ABOUT: What is your favourite thing to do when you are happy? Pugly likes running round and round the table! Do you like cooking? What do you like to bake? Why does Pugly try to sieve the flour high and whisk things well for a final mix (p16) ACTIVITY IDEAS: 1.Write a story from the POV of your pet – what do they think about you, and your family, and any other pets in the house?! 2.Create a recipe that is unusual – but something that you would like to eat. A special sandwich filling perhaps, or an amazing cake! Draw what it would look like, make a list of the ingredients you need, and write simple instructions for your recipe.

Pugly Solves a Crime 978-0857636768 When Pugly hears that Big Sal the guinea pig has been GUINEA PIG-NAPPED he knows it's time for him to become a PUG-TECTIVE! Is GLITTERPUFF the fancy poodle, or TINY the dramatic chihuahua behind the crime? Maybe it's Big Sal HIMSELF! Time for Pugly to put on his special DETECTIVE HAT and join forces with Clem the cat to find clues, interview suspects, and

Page 6 of 19

Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

have a stake-out with real STEAK. Watch out criminals, Pugly is on the case in more PUG-TASTIC adventures... …I said OK because I needed someone to watch me VERY CLOSELY to make sure I didn’t lose my hat because EVERY good detective needs a HAT. TALK ABOUT: 1.Make a list on a flipchart of all the different kinds of dog you can think if. Which is your favourite? Why? 2.Pugly gets his words mixed up and thinks that stake-out is about steak (50). Think of some more pairs of words which sound the same but are spelt differently and have different meanings – e.g. hair/hare; sweet/suite; seen/scene 3.What does the simile ‘as hard as nails’ (104) mean? Talk about similes – and think of some more – e.g. as sweet as… , as soft as… , as easy as… , as smooth as… ACTIVITY: Write an adventure for Pugly, called ‘Pugly Goes on Holiday’. Start your story with the sentence ‘I could tell something was going on when Maddy, my owner, put my favourite ball and chewy bone in the car…’ – and include these things in your story: a seagull, a surfboard, and an ice cream. Look out for this new Pugly story – out in November 2016!

Pugly On Ice 978-0857638960 When Pugly straps on his blades of glory, he knows he is the best ice skater EVER! But someone wants the gold medal very badly and they will stop at nothing to get it. Can Pugly pirouette on to the podium, or will he be cut down in his furry prime? 'Pugly' is a laugh-out-loud series about a very adventurous pug

For primary age children – illustrated by Thomas Flintham All these books are in the ‘Baby Aliens’ series about Izzy and her friends Jodie. Maisie and Zach.

Attack of the Demon Dinner Ladies 978-0857636065 Izzy and her friends have never liked school dinners. And they're getting worse. The dinner ladies are acting strangely, making up random rules, wearing hats, and cooking new food, even more horrible than usual. There is a new head dinner lady, who has

Page 7 of 19

Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

worked at the school before, and Izzy and friends wonder if she is the reason for the strange behaviour. Why has she returned? Could she be a demon who's returned to do bad things? Because why wouldn't she be…..? EVERYONE thought the menu was weird. It didn’t have ANY of the usual food on it. And it had loads of weird words that none of us really understood like POACHED and QUAIL and TEMPURA. TALK ABOUT: 1. What do these words mean? Infamous (2), poached (24), quail (24), tempura (24), avocado (51), antidote (125), tonnes (127), stethoscope (195) 2.Being a spy: From this story, collect all the words and phrases you can find which are about spying, and talk about what they mean – e.g. gather evidence (45), information leaks (115), secret surveillance (176), blown our cover (211) 3.What’s your favourite school dinner? And your favourite packed lunch?

Baby Aliens Got My Teacher! 978-0857632371 One day Izzy and her friends are surprised to find that their teacher, Miss Jones, is actually being nice to them. There can only be one conclusion: she's been taken over by aliens, and now she wants to make them all aliens too!

On Wednesday Miss Jones stood at the door and patted our heads when we walked into the classroom. Then she started calling us weird names like ‘pumpkin’ and ‘peach’ and ‘pomegranate’, when she was doing the register. I thought maybe we were going to be starting a new project on fruit or something. But we didn’t. Instead Miss Jones gave us all sweets and said we could watch a film! TALK ABOUT: What do these words mean? phobia (16), tipsy (32), crank it up a notch (92), diversion (100), decapitate (123), recovery position (127) ACTIVITY: 1.To find out about aliens, Izzy and her friends decide to interview people and so they talk to Jodie’s mum and make notes of what she says (64). Set up your own research about aliens, getting different points of view by interviewing different people. Plan your questions together, then interview your family and friends, making notes of their answers – or you could film your interviews. Then collect together all the information you have got and organise it into a presentation or set of notes about what people believe about aliens. 2.To add to this information, use books and the internet to find out about UFOs and about the Roswell ‘incident’ in Roswell in 1947 (164). 3.Have a go at playing the game ‘Heads Down Thumbs Up’! (110)

My Headteacher is a Vampire Rat! 978-0857632890 In this third zippy and zany tale about Izzy and her friends are plunged into more primary-school craziness. This time, they decide that their new head teacher is a vampire rat, based on his being slightly scary, having the blinds drawn in his office during

the day - and the fact he's banned garlic bread at lunchtimes. Now they just have to come up with a plan to vanquish him. And then he laughed a bit, but it sounded weird. And then he just stared at us. I has NO IDEA what to say, and all I could think about was how SCARY his eyes were, and how pale his face was, and how his lips looked like two little red worms. TALK ABOUT: 1.Ghosts! (3) Has anything strange and ghostly happened to you? Or have you heard any stories about true ghostly happenings? 2.Zack has a phobia about peas, Maisie is frightened of almost everything, and Izzy and her friends certainly find rats scary. Talk about the things which you are scared of – maybe worms, snakes, thunderstorms, spiders? What do you do to try to manage your fear? 3.Izzy and her friends have a special Den, which is an old store-cupboard under the stairs at school. Do you have a Den or a special place where you meet up with friends? What would be your perfect Den? 4. What do these words mean? Epiphany (152), paranoid (180), ingested (207), allergies (208) ACTIVITY: 1.Find out what vampire bats are really like! 2.At school the children sometimes have themed dinners, like ‘Italian Day’. They suggest ‘Jungle Day’ and ‘Apocalypse Day’ (111) – what might you have for dinner on those days?! Think of some more dinner themes!

The Spy Who Loved School Dinners 978-0857632579 Izzy is really pleased to have been put in charge of the new girl at school. Mathilde is French, and Izzy and her friends can't wait to show her their den and its moth, and to help her avoid school dinners (also known as poison). But Mathilde LOVES school

dinners and even has seconds! And that's when they know - Mathilde is a spy and she has come to find out their secrets. They must stop her before it's TOO LATE! This book won the Blue Peter 2015 Book Award for Best Story.

Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

After lunch we decided to watch Mathilde carefully one hundred per cent of the time. Because, like Jodi said, if Mathilde really WAS a spy and she was spying on our school then we needed to find out why. Because it was OUR school so it was up to us. So Jodi said we needed to do “SURVEILLANCE”. TALK ABOUT: What do these words mean? - nutrients (3), professional (18), compromised (59), dementia (97), hyperventilating (185), homesickness (199) ACTIVITY: 1.Make a poster! In this story the children make a Welcome poster to greet new girl Mathilde (14), and they also design posters of their favourite Antarctic animals (37). Have a go at doing your own posters. 2.Find out about Antarctic animals: e.g. penguins, krill, sea spider, sea crustaceans ) 3. Find out more about Captain Scott – his expeditions and his ship the Discovery (134, 140, 178). Where is the Discovery now based?

To Wee or Not To Wee! 978-0857637727 Hamlet could NEVER make his mind up about ANYTHING. When Izzy is asked to tell her friends some HILARIOUS and SCARY stories she knows exactly where to look: Shakespeare, the king of SUPER dramatic stuff. After learning about Macbeth (a STRONG solider who ate four bowls of porridge every morning) her friends want more. So Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream,

and Romeo and Juliet all get the Izzy treatment. There's blood and guts, ghosty stuff, and plenty of people wandering around in their nighties. A fun and unusual introduction to the Bard! Oberon and Titania (the fairy king and queen) had fallen out BIG TIME because Titania used to spend ALL her time with Oberon and cuddle him and make him cheese and crackers and laugh at all his jokes. But then she found a stray cat in the woods one day and she couldn’t spend as much time with Oberon any more because she had to make sure the cat was fed and had fresh water and give it lots of attention so it knew it wasn’t a stray any more.

TALK ABOUT: Did you know any of these Shakespeare stories already? Find out more about what happens in each of the plays. Talk about Izzy’s versions and how she gets the stories across. ACTIVITY: 1. Izzy’s version of Macbeth has appeared on the BBC Radio series ‘Shakespeare Retold’. Choose one of Izzy’s retellings in this book and plan and act

Page 10 of 19

Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

out a performance of it. Or take it in turns to read it aloud as if on the radio, and record each other reading it. 2.Here are the first lines from speeches written by Shakespeare for characters in these plays. Look up the whole speech and talk together about what it’s saying and how it fits in the story.

To be or not to be, that is the question… (Hamlet)

Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble… (Macbeth)

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows… (A Midsummer Night’s Dream)

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? (Romeo and Juliet) Have a look at this Shakespeare Week 2016 Chatterbooks Activity Pack!

Coming soon! There’s a Werewolf in My Tent! - a new story about Izzy and her friends.

For older children – illustrated by Gemma Correll

Petunia Perry and the Curse of the Ugly Pigeon 978-0857634887 Petunia Perry has decided to write her memoirs. She wants the world to know what it's like to start secondary school with a best friend who stages one-person flash mobs in the canteen, a mother who over-shares at parents' evenings and an unwelcome

suitor who draws pictures of her as a unicorn. But it's when she decides to start a band with a spoon-player and a lead-singer who's a cat that things take a turn for the truly crazy... So, after the whole ’Mum-firting-with-Mr-Harper,’ Mum making my Maths teacher cry and Jessica touching Smile Boy’s arm/sharing a computer thing, I didn’t really think Parents’ Evening could get much worse. Note to the world: never, EVER think this! I’m pretty sure that just thinking this is what actually causes things to get worse!

TALK ABOUT: 1.What do these words and initials mean? under-deodorised (3), sarcasm (5), USP (52) 2.Make two lists of all the things you can think of about Peri and Cammy. Which one you’d like as your best friend? Or both of them? 3.Fantasticalabulous (22) is what Peri and Cammy call ideas when words like ‘fantastic’ and ‘brilliant’ just aren’t enough. Have a go at making up your own ‘wow’ words – how about ‘marvellacious’?!

Page 11 of 19

Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

4. At Peri’s school there are lots of crazes – e.g. everyone wearing headbands. Talk about the crazes you’ve had at your school. 5.Read about Peri’s nightmares (148): what is your worst nightmare ever! 6. What do you think how Peri tries to sort everything out at the end? (279) ACTIVITY: 1.Can you do Eggy Language?! Try it on your friends! 2.Have a look at Peri’s list of good and bad points about her holiday (60) – and write a list about one of your own holidays! Or, if you have a pet, write a list of all the special things about him/her – a bit like ‘The Book’ which Pero and Cammy write about Cammy’s cat, Margaret (136)

More activity and discussion ideas for your Chatterbooks group Get together all the books you have by Pamela Butchart, plus a collection of stories about friends, school and pets – you’ll find some ideas in the section More reading ideas at the end of this pack.

Humour: words and pictures Talk about what especially made you laugh in these books – maybe the things people did, the way that things got out of hand – or a particular character?! Was it something someone said – or things in the pictures?

Longer activities First lines and last lines Here are the first lines from two of Pamela Butchart’s books: I used to think that ghosts were the scariest things ever! My Headteacher is a Vampire Rat! I never knew there was more than one type of famous. Attack of the Demon Dinner Ladies With their first lines of a book authors want to hook you into wanting to read the story. What do you think the book might be like when you read these first lines? Petunia Perry and the Curse of the Ugly Pigeon has a really long first line – what do you think of this one get you thinking? My grossly under-deodorised English teacher says it’s important to set the scene when beginning a story so I shall now tell you that while I write this I am sitting in my wardrobe with a torch, like someone at sea in an old movie. Get your favourite books and see what their first lines are – maybe you know them already! Do you know which books these first lines belong to?

1. ‘Where’s Papa going with that axe?’ said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast

2. These two very old people are the father and mother of Mr Bucket.

3. Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin

4. In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf.

5. Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privit Drive, were proud to say that they

Page 15 of 19

Chatterbooks Activity Pack: Pamela Butchart

were perfectly normal, thank you very much.

6. All children, except one, grow up.

7. First of all, let me get something straight. This is a JOURNAL, not a diary.

8. The sun did not shine, It was too wet to play, So we sat in the house, All that cold, cold wet day.

How about last lines? Often they are pulling together the end of the story – sometimes they leave you wanting more! Talk about the last lines in Pamela’s books – here are two of them: And it was brilliant. My Headteacher is a Vampire Rat. And now it was time for belly rubs and BISCUITS! Pugly Solves a Crime Talk about the last lines in your favourite books. Even though they are last lines, if you haven’t read the book, do you think that these lines might also attract you to read the story? Do you know which books have these last lines?

1. Max stepped into his private boat and waved goodbye and sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and into the night of his very own room, where he found his supper waiting for him—and it was still hot.

2. The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.

3. He was a beautiful butterfly!

4. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that

enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.

5. ‘From the Land of Oz’, said Dorothy gravely. ‘And here is Toto too. And oh,

Aunt Em! I’m so glad to be home again!’

6. But Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail had bread and milk and blackberries for supper.

What really happened?! In these stories there is often something which seems strange or scary – but which eventually turns out to have a perfectly reasonable explanation. Talk about how Pugly, and Peri, and Izzy and her friends really get their imaginations going – for example about the new school menu and new dinner ladies, or Mathilde’s secretiveness, or the head teacher’s darkened study. Look at the scenarios below and think of at least two explanations for each one – one which is something quite ordinary – and one which is something amazing!

1. You find a large fish on the pavement, which looks as if it’s still alive. How did it get there?

2. First thing in the morning you see a man in his pyjamas going past your house

with a squawking chicken in his arms. What do you think he is doing?

3. Your best friend is late coming in to school - when you try to talk with him/her at break-time he/she won’t speak to you. What do you think is the matter?
