More DescriptionWhen Joanie Came to Stay, is a picture book for younger readers that will appeal to all ages.When Cassy and David go on holiday, Joanie does too. After a reluctant start and lots of patience, a special friendship develops.The text highlights the rhythm and sounds of language. The playful use of words makes reading such fun, while encouraging young readers to engage with texts to build their own literacy skills. The characters' different points of view are portrayed through the juxtaposition of the storyteller's account and speech bubbles which represent the thoughts of the characters in the story. This strategy encourages empathy in young readers, allowing them to act out roles and appreciate different points of view.
