Just Mabel (I am Reading) & Cd

Product Description
Mabel hates her name – it’s so boring. Then she sees a glamorous singer on television called Mabel…and realizes that her own name is just fine after all.

Mabel wears her favourite red dress to school but some of her classmates tell her she looks like a tomato.

Their teasing makes Mable hate her dress, until she realizes that it doesn’t matter what other people say about her.

The I Am Reading series provides just the right balance of challenge and support for newly independent readers and now they have just got even better! Each book now comes with a CD so readers can follow along with the story word for word, or simply enjoy it being read aloud.

Large, easy-to-read type, satisfying stories by top writers and cheerful full-colour pictures help children make the transition from picture books to chapter books.

Each book includes a bookmark flap, tips for beginner readers and either short, numbered chapters or two short stories.
