Don Quixote by Mary Sebag-Montefiore
The classic story of misadventure by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra retold for children ready to tackle longer and more complex stories. Don Quixote thinks he's a knight, just like in the days of old - he even has a squire. Of course, these days, there are no dragons to fight, but a thing like that doesn't stop him, as he drags his squire on one madcap adventure after another... Part of the Usborne Reading Programme developed with reading experts at the University of Roehampton. Chapters in this book include: - Books are bad for you - A hard day for a knight - Treacherous windmills - Deceitful sheep - The sour fruit of freedom - Mad with passion - Costumes and confusion - Demons in the ox cart - Farewell good knight
"Irresistible for children learning to read" - Child Education Plus; "The Usborne Young Reading Program has a lovely selection of classic tales adapted for younger readersGraded in seven levels, these have just enough stretch in them and yet are not too overwhelming." - The Irish Sunday Independent; "Crack reading and make confident and enthusiastic readers with this fantastic reading programme" - Julia Eccleshare
