Author & Illustrators
A well-loved option for a class reader or chapter book to study at KS2. First published in 1963, Stig of the Dump is a classic children’s novel about a young boy called Barney who encounters a strange cave-dwelling creature called Stig. Stig takes Barney on a series of fantastic adventures into prehistoric times.
This memorable text is a popular choice for a class reader or a literacy unit. Many teachers enjoy the opportunity to introduce pupils to a classic children’s book and there is also an accompanying Read & Respond (click to see on Amazon) book to help teachers with planning.
