The successful children's book series with a proven concept for learning and practicing reading together. Fumo, the little dragon, is terribly ashamed: he can't breathe fire! Not even the smallest wisp of smoke curls from his nostrils when he is supposed to show his skills to the big dragon. Fumo desperately seeks to escape and runs straight into Linus's arms. Linus can't breathe fire either, because he is a human boy. But he has an idea on how to help Fumo. When reading is still a struggle for beginner readers, many families say: "Let's read together. First, I read a bit, then you. We take turns." That's why our popular beginner reader series "First I read a bit, then you" is specifically designed for reading together: reading sections for experienced readers and beginner readers alternate, with longer passages for readers in small print and short texts for beginner readers in large print. This makes learning to read together fun!.
