“It is a folk tale for all ages but I totally recommend it for children and young teenagers. I also liked how the story unfolds as it keeps you wonder what will happen next. I can’t wait to read the rest of the graded readers which are based on folk tales from around the world.”

— Tanya, English Teacher

“A fun and easy to read story with good illustrations.”

— Miss Gilly, teacher

“I couldn’t stop reading until it was finished. I think it’s really instructive; the diction is appropriate for the target audience, and the usage of visuals helps to draw the reader’s attention.”

— Dr. Rasha Elbashir, King Abdulaiz University
