Two-Minute Animal Stories

Elena Pasquali

Description

A collection of ten great stories retold at a cracking pace - perfect for story-times. Each story is retold in a short but continuous narrative, with quick and quirky illustrations adding to the momentum. The playful element is enhanced by text that 'interacts' with the pictures by means of join-in onomatopaeic labels and speech bubbles so that they are fun to share with children. The large text and carefully managed readability mean that such a book is also great fun for young children who are learning to read. In series with Two-Minute Bible Stories.
