There are 8 short stories of about 15 pages long - still a little long for Noel to read by himself but he likes that I read for him. Abel would listen too but I guess his mind wanders off half way.
The boys will take turn to choose their stories. We read them in block of time i.e. when Jake and Mil goes to buy fish at the fishmonger, we would read the stories. If they go into the veggie shop, I will then continue the story. It made time past very quickly.
So far, we had read stories about the mouse and mammoth. There are several pictures in each stories - perhaps a bit long for Abel but Noel is enjoying it a lot.
Dick King-Smith also writes many other brilliant stories. One of his famous book is called The Sheep Pig (which is made into movie "Babe") .
I wonder what story they would choose next.
