Summary/back cover:
This series of delightful short stories has been especially written, with the help of a language expert, for young children who are just beginning to read. With the help and encouragement of an adult, beginner readers will be able to achieve the pleasure and satisfaction of reading a whole book for themselves.
Market Day is one of the stories in the Usborne Farmyard Tales series. There are 20 stories, in total. They are short and easy to read and as the back cover summary suggests, they’d be ideal for children first learning to read. My children aren’t at that stage, yet, but I find this story (and the two others we own from the series) good for helping them learn new words. The pictures and the writing complement each other so it’s easy for children to make the connection between what I’m reading them and what they’re seeing in the pictures.
With the farming theme running through the stories they would be particularly good for children who have family that run a farm or lifestyle block with animals.
Another attractive feature of these books is the little yellow duck to search for on every page. Oh, and they’re as cheap as chips – you might even be able to find them in the supermarket!
My rating: 3.5 out of 5
