This is a hardcover book with 25 different short stories for children who are learning to read but may be somewhat shy, reluctant, or apprehensive when they are asked to read aloud to another person. This book is written and designed especially for these children, to help them gain confidence in their reading abilities.
   The stories contain many common words that educators recommend for early readers to learn.
   To enhance interest by young readers, this book can easily be personalized by using a marking pen to print the name of a dog, cat, teddy bear, or other favorite stuffed animal in the empty banner on the cover.
