The successful children's book series with a proven concept for learning and practicing reading together. The human boy Linus and the dragon child Fumo are best friends. However, when the big competition in glacier melting approaches, their friendship is put to the test: Linus claims that Fumo can breathe fire like a pro. But everyone knows that only red sauce drips from Fumo's nose. When Linus finds himself in danger, Fumo suddenly rises to the occasion. For beginner readers, reading can still be a struggle, which is why many families say, "Let's read together. First, I read a bit, then you. We'll take turns." That’s why our popular early reader series "First I read a bit, then you" is specifically designed for shared reading: reading sections for experienced readers alternate with those for beginners, with longer passages in smaller print for readers and short texts in large print for beginners. This makes learning to read together fun!.
