This title is part of Bug Club, the first whole-school reading programme that joins books with an online reading world to teach today's children to read.

In this non-decodable, fiction Reading Corner book, Alfred is scared of just about everything, but he is especially scared about speaking in front of lots of people. So when Alfred is told he must speak about the Blue Whale to his whole class, he just wants to run away and hide. However, the more Alfred learns about the Blue Whale the braver he becomes.

This is a Bug Club Reading Corner book. Reading Corner books are designed to help children to develop a love of reading through reading for pleasure.
