Junior Fiction 5-9-year-olds

Everyone is excited about going on a picnic dressed as pirates, but then some real ones appear! The Tiddlers series features fun stories with a word count of fewer than 50 words for children who are just starting to read. A word list at the beginning of the story allows for a quick check of the reader's ability to read and understand words before reading, and a puzzle at the end of the story encourages rereading for pleasure.
