Bu e-kitap hakkında

Mr Slater Gladiator is book six of Ladybird's Genie Street fiction series. This exciting new ebook contains two short chapter stories for independent readers who are ready and want to read real fiction for the first time.

In Mr Slater Gladiator we once more follow Daisy and Tom as they journey to Lampland, and find themselves in the middle of a Gladiator match! Their adventure sees the children rescue Mr Slater and his furry friend, and race two fearsome guards in a chariot race. There is never a dull moment for Tom and Daisy!

In the second story - Madame Zarr Circus Star - Tom and Daisy have been given a Special Delivery by Genie Street's postman, Mr Mistry, that they must deliver to Madame Zarr. But the greatest trapeze artist in all of Lampland seems rather familiar. Who could she be?

Genie Street is the next step up from Ladybird's Read it yourself Level 4. With short chapters, simple vocabulary and a clear layout, these ebooks will encourage and build confidence when reading. Other stories in this series include Mrs Kramer Dragon Tamer, Mr Chan Rocket Man, Mrs Greene Mermaid Queen, Dr Singh Pirate King and Miss Magenta Sweet Inventor.
