The Fox and the Crow

Description

A lively retelling of Aesop's fable about not always believing the nice things people say. First Reading Level 1 are real books for beginner readers to tackle with very light support. Featuring the delightful illustrations of Rocio Martinez. Includes several pages of reading-related puzzles. Part of the Usborne Reading Programme developed with reading experts at the University of Roehampton.

Mairi Mackinnon has lived in England, Scotland, France, Italy and Spain, and worked as a teacher, translator and tour manager before joining Usborne. Over the years she has written and edited Usborne books in sixteen languages, from Arabic to Welsh. She lives in a house full of teenagers, books and curious musical instruments.

For every parent, child and teacher weary of the monotony of the average reading scheme, Usborne's First Reading series will offer rays of sunlight. The books are carefully levelled and offer a huge variety of accessible and fun, fiction and non-fiction. * Tamara Linke (Proprietor, Tales on Moon Lane Bookshop) *
