If I were… is a wonderfully inclusive book, allowing young children to use fun actions to engage with reading subject-led books. Imagine the scene and try the action!

• Inclusive illustrations to represent many diversities and abilities
  
• Encourages interaction and movement, and having fun with the words on the page
  
• Quick, but fun read to engage a young child, including children who are not instantly drawn to reading
  

If I were... includes If I were a Dinosaur, If I were on a Farm, If I were an Astronaut, and If I were Under the Sea.

Young children can practise performing big actions – such as If I were a dinosaur… I'd have big, stompy feet. Can you stamp your feet?, and smaller movements – such as If I were under the sea… I might show my teeth and snap my jaws. Give your biggest shark grin!
