The Real Treasure

"A simple but enjoyable story adapted for A1 readers." — Miss Gilly, teacher

This tale from Kazakhstan, adapted for beginner readers, tells the story of a discontent young man who discovers that wealth and treasures mean nothing without the real treasure-yourself. Illustrations, large font-size, and minimal text on each page make it easy for language learners and young readers to improve reading skills.
