Synopsis: |
"This is so boring!" Steve is working in his dad's chemist shop. He wants to be outside skateboarding and tree climbing. Then a few customers start to trickle in. A lady with a large nose and a big black hat asks for some wart cream, a man with a long cape and big teeth asks for some plasters and a lot of toothpaste, and a very, very hairy man buys some nail clippers and an extra strong comb. Steve's not so bored now...The "I Am Reading" series provides just the right balance of challenge and support for newly independent readers. Large, easy-to-read type, satisfying stories by top writers and cheerful full-colour pictures help children make the transition from picture books to chapter books. Each book includes a bookmark flap, tips for beginner readers and either short, numbered chapters or two short stories. |
