About the Books
Each title in this Usborne Story Level 1 Beginner Reader Collection retells a timeless fairy tale using short sentences and generous illustration to help children take confident first steps into independent reading. From the romance of Beauty and the Beast and the mischief of Puss in Boots, to cautionary tales like The Boy Who Cried Wolf and classics such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, the set offers a broad introduction to stories that shape childhood reading. The Gingerbread Man, The Emperor and the Nightingale, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Elves and the Shoemaker and Little Red Riding Hood round out the collection with warmth, humour and gentle morals. Each book follows the accessible format Usborne is known for: manageable page counts, large clear text and colourful artwork on every spread, so children feel real achievement reading a whole story themselves.
