The playful stories engage kids and provide a new challenge to advance their skills.

- 8 small, hilarious, easy-to-read stories: 16-24 pages each, 12-78 unique words per story, sized perfectly for little hands
- A parent guide with tips for helping your child learn to read
Each story includes:
- Repetition of words and sounds, which helps children decode the text
- Simple sentences with more complex words ("Jim slipped into the pond.")

- Friendly, simple illustrations that add fun and do not distract from the words
