Nice easy read for Welsh learners - the first one recommended in the first entry level Dysgu Cymraeg workbook. Particularly liked the illustrations by Sion Ilar.

Mwynheuais i’r llyfr’ma.

Sure, bit of fun. I'm trying to get better at reading books in Welsh so thought I'd start at the bottom. My main criticism was that it was really childish (not just language but also plot) and I thought the point of this series was to be for adults learning Welsh so we don't have to read kids books. This could easily have been a children's book...
Anyway, a good resource but not a good book.

Great 'first book' for Welsh learners, and nice to read something a bit more complex and grownup than 'Ble mae Sali Mali?'! The story is very simple and all in present tense, and there's lots of repetition, particularly of new words and phrases, which helps with learning. I've read a couple of reviews which complain that the story is too simple and childish, but you can hardly expect the Welsh equivalent of War and Peace when your Welsh language vocab is so small! I think the author does an incredibly good job of creating a reasonable storyline within the narrow range of vocabulary and simple sentence structure she has to use to make the book accessible to beginners. Some nice touches of humour too.

Dw i 'di bod yn dysgu Cymraeg am ychydig o flwyddyn, rŵan, a wnes i fwynhau'r llyfr' ma, achos mae'r iaith yn syml, efo lluniau gwych a llawr o help efo'r gairiau galed. Llyfr gwych!

Roedd yn iawn. Roedd rhai geiriau nad oeddwn i'n gwybod. Da i ddechreuwr ond roedd yr ailadrodd ychydig yn annifyr.
