We've used these beautifully produced books with their accompanying cassettes as individual and group readers in school for some time. The stories are varied, richly different in style and origin, illustrated by a variety of artists and all worth the reading in their own right. The four in this batch are part of the Summer term's Listening and Reading radio series for schools and they range from the excellently retold traditional tale, Cap o'Rushes to the modern Dare's Secret Pony.
There are many titles from previous broadcasts in this series and a child given no other books would have a wide and valuable experience from the variety available. The stories are all presented to appeal to those just taking off in independent reading, but less mature children would enjoy listening to the tapes just as much.
