He is &#8220;Lost for words&#8221; and can&#8217;t think of anything to write. He discovers that, although he can&#8217;t write, he is very good at drawing and illustrating his friend&#8217;s stories. The children enjoyed hearing the story and they have learned about the <a title=\"tapir facts\" href=\"http:\/\/www.animalfactguide.com\/animal-facts\/brazilian-tapir\/\">tapir<\/a>, an animal that looks a bit like a pig with a trunk, who lives in the rainforests of South America.

Over the next three weeks, the children will be introduced to the two other books which are shortlisted for the award. After completing a variety of activities for each book, they will decide which book is their favourite. Their votes will go together with P1\u00a0children&#8217;s votes from all over Scotland. The book which receives the most votes will be the winner of the Scottish Book Trust award for Primary one children.<\/p>\n<p>Once we have looked at\u00a0all the books in class, each child will get a <a title=\"Bookbug pack\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scottishbooktrust.com\/bookbug\/bookbug-packs\/bookbug-primary-1-family-pack\">Scottish Book Trust Bookbug bag<\/a>, containing a copy of each book to keep at home.
