Loved the pictures & activities at the back of the book. My 6 year old thought the "snow penguin" was funny & cute.

I love the art in this one. It's so cute! My students love it, too. 😊
This book's reading level is for our students who have been studying English for about 6 to 7 months. The words used are simple, and the story is easy to read and understand.

This appealed to my 7-year-old grandson who does not like to read. My edition is published in the U.S. in 2017. It is labeled Level 1 in the Read with Usborne series. It contains puzzles at the end of the story...good exercises, but not reinforcing comprehension.
