The Reading Champion series offers independent reading books for children to practice and strengthen their developing reading skills. Fantastic stories are accompanied by stunning illustrations and a reading activity. Each book has been carefully graded to match a child's reading ability, encouraging reading for pleasure. This retelling of the traditional story is suitable for children aged 5-7 years or for those reading at the orange book band.
