Reseña del editor:

A young girl's adventures selling muffins aims to introduces curriculum themes of living and working conditions, daily life in the town, transport and health in Victorian times. The book attempts to capture the interest of the young reader through the nature of bizarre street characters: sellers of dog-collars, puppies, sherbet and songs, shoe-blacks, rat-catchers and funeral mutes. The illustrations and photographs show individual street sellers and a street scene where they are at work. Captions encourage readers to search for information hidden in the artwork. This book is one of a series which focus on a day in the life of a fictional character providing the opportunity for a detailed look at how people dressed, ate, worked, travelled and survived in different eras. It aims to combine fictional narrative, informative factual text and quotes to enhance literacy skills and to encourage the reader to consider concepts of time, chronology, biography and diary .
