Summary

Outwit trolls with the Billy Goats Gruff, bake bread with the Little Red Hen, laugh at the pranks of Puss in Boots, and more, in these delightful animal adventures. Reports show that reading or being read to for ten minutes every day will significantly improve children's reading skills. This short story collection supports this - each story taking about ten minutes to read. Ideal for sharing with younger children; as children learn to read on their own they can tackle these simple stories on their own
