This graded reader contains some good vocabulary words, but otherwise, it is the worst I have encountered so far. Although ostensibly 83 pages long, the author writes each story three times - once line by line, once paragraph by paragraph, and then once in English. The book is in effect more like 30 pages, and it took about 20 minutes to read.
The illustrations look like they were drawn by a five-year-old, and the stories read like children's stories. Each story has a lame "moral" at the end that had me rolling my eyes.

The stories were bland and there were typos, which is dangerous for someone actively trying to learn the language.
