Media Reviews

'Irresistible for children learning to read' - Child Education Plus; 'The Usborne Young Reading Program has a lovely selection of classic tales adapted for younger readers. Graded in seven levels, these have just enough stretch in them and yet are not too overwhelming' - The Irish Sunday Independent; 'Mary Sebag-Montefiore has done a beautiful job, and opens up this lovely story for younger readers or those who aren't very confident. The lively clear reading (on the CD)adds to the pleasure' - Publishing News
