These words were written for children aged 9 to 11 years to read by themselves. Younger children might enjoy the story with help from another child (a peer), a parent or a classroom assistant. Older children might especially enjoy the “Thinking Questions” at the end.
The story is available in English, Spanish, German and Mandarin.
