Aladdin

A family goes out to dinner at a diner and gets a monstrous meal. Blue chicken? It was fine a month ago. Cheese full of bugs? The chef roars out the kitchen door when the shrieking begins and thank goodness, there’s a human diner just next door. Whew! I thought we were going to have to eat those hairy pears! Rhyming and revolting and great for early readers who want some disgusting pictures and a whole pot full of laughs.

Nat and Ned are poor and often hungry until Ned rescues a wish-granting fairy. But are all their troubles over for good? Part of the Usborne Reading Programme developed with reading experts at the University of Roehampton, specially written for children just starting to read alone.
