ABC Companion Pack: 'Our Tower'

The ABC Companion Pack includes a copy of ‘Our Tower’ by Joseph Coelho, the Anywhere Book Club Companion Booklet and a user guide.

‘Our Tower’ is a beautiful story, which encourages children to think about different perspectives, the importance of community and explores the magic hidden in everyday places. Richard Johnson’s atmospheric illustrations reflect the rich vocabulary and poetic imagery.

The ABC companion booklet will help you delve deeper into this empathy-boosting story. Use onomatopoeia to imagine a tiger’s song, think about why a traffic jam is like a snake and consider what little things you notice when you step outside a front door...

The activities in ABC companion booklets are suitable for children aged 7+, although younger and older children may want to join in! At ABC, we believe that picture books, like ‘Our Tower’, are not just for little children and can be enjoyed by all ages and provide excellent starting points for great discussions and fun games.
