5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Albertine, Goose Queen (Jets)" on Amazon

Another in the jokey, comic book style 'Jets' series. With lots of drawings, speech bubbles, split text and mix of hand lettering and print, these are ideal for older reluctant readers, since they look very 'user friendly'. This is an enjoyable story in which Albertine persuades the wicked fox to spare her goslings by her bravery in standing up to him and she then saves him from the hounds. Indeed 'a Queen among geese!' Good fun.
