It was a bright, warm spring morning

C’était une matinée de printemps chaude et lumineuse.

Bobbing gaily in the river was a large golden oak leaf, a very large leaf.

Tanguant joyeusement avec le courant naviguait une grande feuille de chêne dorée, une très grande feuille en fait.

After some moments, a pair of pale green hands appeared and grabbed the sides of the leaf.

Après quelques instants, deux petites mains vert pâle apparurent et attrapèrent les côtés de la feuille.

And then there followed a head to match…

Suivies aussitôt par une tête assortie.

And so, a little Pixie, by the name of Peter arrived at the forest.

Et comme ça, un petit lutin, qui s’appelle Lucien, est arrivé dans la forêt.

In this, the opening book of the series, Peter learns his very first lesson about giving.

In addition to being an amusing and interesting story, in itself, these tales also integrate a rich learning system.

Firstly; most of the stories incorporate an educational or moral theme or message that can be reflected on with your child.

Secondly; each story exists in five levels of difficulty; ‘I Can Colour’, ‘I Can Read’, ‘I Am Reading’, ‘I Read Alone’, and ‘Read To Me’.

They each contain the same images and the same text, with increasing levels of simplification.

Thirdly; the ‘I Can Read’ and ‘I am Reading’ versions will also exist in different bilingual editions.

Finally; for each ‘I Can Read’ language version, there will exist a free to access, (You Tube), animated reading of the story.

Although this is of course helpful for children learning to read in their own language, it is essential for learning to read a speak a foreign language correctly.
