Animal characters give young readers an easy way into stories about courage, cleverness and consequence.
Across 128 hardcover pages this collection brings together short animal tales chosen for readers aged six to twelve. Stories run only a few pages each, so a reluctant reader can reach the end of one without losing momentum, and illustrations break up the text at regular intervals to keep the page from looking heavy. The mix of familiar creatures and unfamiliar situations makes the book useful for building reading stamina over a school holiday, or simply as a bedside title a child returns to.
Reading notes:
• Short animal stories sized for a single sitting
• Illustrations spaced through the text to ease the reading load
• Vocabulary pitched at primary and early middle-school level
• Hardback covers that stand up to a shared bookshelf
Written for children aged six to twelve and for parents building a home library, published by Manoj Publications and stocked by Boipoka.
