Practical ideas for guided reading are included at the back of each book. It's just a normal lesson on a normal day at school, except Mrs. Bennet has turned into a very big rabbit. The problems...

A duckling and all his family happily await the hatching of his parents' new egg.

Happy hedgehogs with drums inspire the other animals in Dickon Wood to join them in making lively music.

Katy Mouse teaches her younger brother, Tiny, the names of some of the things they see, including a boot, a snail, and a pheasant, when they go to the cornfield to play games.

When bedtime comes Oso Pequeño is afraid of the dark until Oso Grande brings him lights and love.

It's bedtime, and Little Bear can't get to sleep. He's frightened of the dark, the dark all around, which not even Big Bear's largest lantern can light up. Big Bear finds a way to show Little Bear that there is no need to be afraid.

As a baby girl grows up and becomes an adult, the "giants" in her family seem to grow smaller.
