Books with author Watty Piper

A brand-new series for brand-new readers! Introducing a new series for brand-new readers! Each slipcase includes two 16-page paperback books, both on an adorable character who will keep appearing in future First Friends titles. These books are not phonics-based, but have only about a sentence per page, and--most importantly--deliver short, funny stories that really make reading fun. Far simpler than Level 1 All Aboard Reading books, far simpler even than Picture Readers, this new series is perfect for very young children who are ready to try their reading wings. Everyone loves the Little Engine That Could! Kids will adore learning to read with the cheerful and determined Little Blue Engine, a classic character with the perfect message for emergent readers. I think I can, I think I can! Two simple adventures come in the slipcase.

The story of a train filled with toys and gifts for little boys and girls that breaks down before reaching the children. After asking several passing trains for help over the hill, a little blue train agrees to help the stranded toys. Even though she is small, the blue train tries her best to bring the toys to the children on the other side of the hill.

This great collection of short stories for children includes five fairy tales. The stories are: (1) Little Red Riding Hood, (2) The Goose-Girl, (3) Babes in the Wood, (4) The Sleeping Beauty, and (5) Snowdrop and Seven Little Dwarfs. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of these timeless stories. This edition is amply illustrated.
