The Secret of Bertha

With the idea of accompanying boys and girls from 3 to 6 years old as they take their first steps in reading, the stories in the “Horse” collection help them gradually discover the mechanisms of reading so that they can follow the stories using their intuition and previous knowledge. “Giddy Up, Little Horse!” level is aimed at non-readers who have just discovered that there are words in stories but who still cannot decipher the code. The stories have a very clear structure and the illustrations speak as clearly as the words so that readers can use them to guess the narrative.
