One night Crazy Cat looks at the beautiful stars and decides that he wants to visit them. Over the next few days, Fred the Fox, Bert the Bat and Fat Old Rat tell him how to get to the stars. Crazy Cat gets very close, but then there's a problem. The Macmillan Explorers Phonics bring first language teaching methods to reading lessons in international classrooms. They focus on how reading works, so children are able to read new texts and pronounce new words more easily. The Macmillan Explorers Phonics complement the Macmillan English Explorers and can also be used alongside any other reading programme.
