In its structure it is similar to an early chapter book, although the different sections are not separated into chapters. Rather, it follows the flow and form of a normal picture book. The illustrations are still an important part of the reading process, although they are not as detailed as in picture books for younger children. The illustrations are bold in colour and style and support the flow of the story.Usually early reader books have a simple story, sentence structure and format, that allows children to read the book by themselves. Early readers are perfect for children from 5 years. The protagonists of The Reading Fairy are Belle Bookworm, Luna as well as six of the most popular dinosaurs: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl, Brachiosaurus and the Velociraptor. The names of the dinosaurs are slowly introduced through pictures and a pronunciation help. Although it isn't easy to read their names, especially as a beginner reader, the enormous interest in dinosaurs that young children have will encourage them to try. Reading their names will feel like a great achievement. The Reading Fairy is the positive voice in this book: Practice makes perfect! Just keep reading!This picture book is for slightly advanced readers. However, it is also suitable for less experienced readers. With a little bit of support, it makes a great book for bedtime or any Storytime session.
