Would it be great to put the BOOK back in World Book Day? Do you feel that it's become more about dressing up, than encouraging a love of books are reading? What are your thoughts? Here's a poem by Julia Donaldson for you to enjoy...

I opened a book and in I strode
Now nobody can find me.
I’ve left my chair, my house, my road,
My town and my world behind me.

I’m wearing the cloak, I’ve slipped on the ring,
I’ve swallowed the magic potion.
I’ve fought with a dragon, dined with a king
And dived in a bottomless ocean.

I opened a book and made some friends.
I shared their tears and laughter
And followed their road with its bumps and bends
To the happily ever after.

I finished my book and out I came.
The cloak can no longer hide me.
My chair and my house are just the same,
But I have a book inside me.

This question from an 11+ verbal reasoning practice book caused a bit of confusion during a session recently. What do you think made it difficult for my learner to answer?

I often come across published questions that make this particular assumption about children's knowledge and it's becoming a bit of a pet peeve!
