Moon Zoom

Usborne Very First Reading

by Lesley Sims, David Semple (Illustrator)

The eighth title in the new "Usborne Very First Reading" series, designed for younger children to introduce them to reading together with their parents. Parents and children take turns to read from the page (the text clearly marked for who should be reading) and as the books progress in the series the adults read less and less and the child more and more. There are puzzles at the end to check the child's understanding of the text and guidance notes for the parents. Beautiful illustrations help to motivate beginner readers.

Genres: Childrens, Picture Books, Fiction

32 pages, Hardcover

Since joining Usborne Publishing, she has written and edited hundreds of books, from funny rhyming stories to an award-winning history book. Nowadays, she is often found recording books, too, in Usborne's very own recording studio.

Everyone has their own space dream.

Two mice decide to go to the moon.

This was a quaint short story for young children with sweet illustrations (being a mouse fan I maybe biased). The quiz at the end looked suitable for the target audience.

This is a great set of books ranging from very beginning reader to more confident. Colorful and fun. My son loves the quizzes in the back!

This story focuses on a mouse that can't sleep and decides to go the moon. It's a story that isn't very deep, but a good read for young kids. An easy book that tells a simple story. This book is in a series of books that focus on a very young reading audience.
