Mamta Garg sends a flying unicorn through a story built for children who are just beginning to enjoy reading on their own.
The telling stays simple, with illustration on every spread and sentences short enough for a preschooler to hear and repeat. Fantasy of this kind gives young readers a reason to keep going without asking much of their vocabulary, and the book works equally well read aloud at bedtime or attempted alone by a child in early primary. Language, imagination and reading confidence all get exercise in the process.
Reasons to shelve it:
• A self-contained fantasy story rather than a series entry
• Sentences short enough for early independent reading
• Illustration on each spread to support comprehension
• Works read aloud or tackled without help
For preschoolers and early primary readers, and for parents building a bedtime rotation, found at Boipoka.
