Njoki Digs in Sand Jolly Phonics · Group 5: oo as in moon & oo as in book

Njoki treks to the dry riverbed each morning to find water for her sick mother and hungry brothers. In the sand she uncovers a strange gourd that pours out more than any gourd should hold. She keeps its secret and its rule: ask only for what you need. But when a neighbour spots the family’s full pots and asks too many questions, will Njoki’s careful trust survive being shared? Written for Jolly Phonics classrooms (Group 5: oo as in moon & oo as in book), this book practises words like ’look’, ‘good’, ‘food’, ‘soon’, ‘mood’.
