Adult and child take turns to read, and the child's text uses only the letters s a t p i n m d plus new letters g o c k ck e u r. Fun puzzles test understanding, and provide opportunities for discussion and further reading practice.

Thank you, Usborne, for producing a series of books that really work, that see story and content as important as skill level, and are genuinely engaging for children (and adults- I'm having a great time too!) Thank you for teaching my daughter to read.
