Story books

A growing series of read-aloud picture books for the earliest readers, all sharing one cast: Len the lion, Pip the rabbit, Bo the penguin, a turtle, and a dove who turns up on the last page. Each book stands alone, and later titles bring the friends together.

I Like the Cold cover: Bo, a navy and cream painted penguin, standing with his flippers out on cream paper
Avery Animal Read-Alouds

I Like the Cold

Starring Bo the penguin

Bo loves everything about a freezing day, and by the third page the whole class is shouting the last word of every line right along with him.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
That Is Not Mom cover: Len, a yellow painted lion, sitting beside Pip, a pink painted rabbit waving, on cream paper
Len and Pip

That Is Not Mom

Starring Len the lion and Pip the rabbit

Pip is completely certain the big dog is Mom, Len is completely certain it is not, and the argument runs in speech bubbles your readers can act out until the real Mom turns up.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
I Like the Sun cover: Tuck, a green and cream painted turtle, standing with his arms up on cream paper
Avery Animal Read-Alouds

I Like the Sun

Starring Tuck the turtle

Tuck is slow on purpose and completely happy about it, and when a small dove offers him a pair of roller skates the whole class already knows exactly what he is going to say.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
That Is Not Your Nose cover: Len, a yellow painted lion, beside Pip, a pink painted rabbit touching his face, on cream paper
Len and Pip

That Is Not Your Nose

Starring Len the lion and Pip the rabbit

Pip cannot find his own nose and keeps pointing at the wrong one, and the whole argument runs in speech bubbles two children can read to each other before either of them can really read.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
我喜欢冷的 cover: Bo, a navy and cream painted penguin, under a Chinese title on cream paper
Avery Animal Read-Alouds, Chinese edition

我喜欢冷的 (I Like the Cold, Chinese edition)

Starring 企鹅卜卜, Bo the penguin

The same penguin and the same artwork, with every word in Chinese and not a single line of English on the story pages, so a Mandarin class shouts the last character of every page instead of the last word.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
我喜欢太阳 cover: Tuck, a green and cream painted turtle, under a Chinese title on cream paper
Avery Animal Read-Alouds, Chinese edition

我喜欢太阳 (I Like the Sun, Chinese edition)

Starring 乌龟图图, Tuck the turtle

Tuck's slow, sunny day told entirely in Chinese, with a shout character on every page and a card page you cut apart, sharing its artwork with the English edition so a bilingual room can read both side by side.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
这不是妈妈 cover: Len, a yellow painted lion, beside Pip, a pink painted rabbit waving, under a Chinese title on cream paper
Len and Pip, Chinese edition

这不是妈妈 (That Is Not Mom, Chinese edition)

Starring 乐乐和皮皮, Len and Pip

The whole dog argument in Chinese speech bubbles, yellow always Len and pink always Pip, so two children who cannot read yet still know exactly who is talking.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
那不是你的鼻子 cover: Len, a yellow painted lion, beside Pip, a pink painted rabbit touching his face, under a Chinese title on cream paper
Len and Pip, Chinese edition

那不是你的鼻子 (That Is Not Your Nose, Chinese edition)

Starring 乐乐和皮皮, Len and Pip

Pip hunting for his nose in Chinese, five shout words with pinyin on the card page, and a punchline that lands in either language because the picture carries it.

  • Level A
  • 10 pages plus cover
  • Print or projector
