'I took a rose from the garden of a monstrous beast and he has sworn to kill me...'When Beauty reads this letter from her father, she bravely rides to the Beast's enchanted castle in his place.

Series Two titles are for children who are reading more confidently, and are 64 pages (2000-2500 words) in length. They use varied sentence lengths, more complex sentence structure and more challenging vocabulary.Most Series Two books contain a single narrative divided into chapters. Subjects include classic tales and myths, mystery stories and non-fiction.Young Reading CD audio packs make the story come alive. Each CD contains two readings: first, a dramatic listen-along version, complete with specially composed music, sound effects and superbly characterised readings; then a more measured, read-along version-without sound effects but with a page-turn indicator-designed to be played as a child follows the story in the accompanying book.
