Reviews

[Elias · Rating 4 out of 5]

E: I thought it was a good book. I thought they would get the moon when they were on top of the castle!

Parent: a short story with a sense of humour. The language was perfect for a child at a beginner level in reading Arabic, and was engaging enough for E to keep reading.
