Barrington Stoke has published super-readable books accessible to young people with dyslexia or reading reluctance.

I’ll persevere, try again, even though I’m unable
Ignore him feeding the dog under the table.

The beloved dog’s bed is empty.


Sarah decided to have the donut company ship a dozen of each healthy, oil free treats to her friends. This way, Christmas shopping was finished for the year with the bonus of an early order discount. Sarah could then scratch off every single line of her list.
The only problem she envisioned was how to make sure they were safe and not seared in the heat of her “Christmas in July” theme this year. Otherwise they might arrive tasting like granite.
