A range of simple stories for new readers, with beautiful colour illustrations.

Mike and his dog Bowow are relaxing in the Chocolate Hills when the ground starts to tremble and the next moment a gaping hole appears. Before Mike can stop him, Bowow jumps into the hole. Then a note floats up.

Party.

Come now.

Just fall up.

There’s no time to wonder what it means – Mike jumps in and falls into the most topsy-turvy of adventures.

The text cleverly helps the reader to add expression by emphasising speech and action by using different bold, large print. It is colourfully illustrated with bold and appealing pictures which will aid the reader with their understanding whilst adding to their engagement"
