PRODUCT INFORMATION
Reader Rabbit’s Reading Development Library 3 is one of the highly
acclaimed additions to the multilevel library of interactive books.
Children may read two classic tales:
The Princess and the Pea
Upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she
would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to
find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were
princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were
real ones. There was
always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came
home
again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real
princess.
One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning,
and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at
the city gate, and the old king went to open it.
It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good
gracious! what a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The
water
ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her
shoes
and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real
princess.
“Well, we'll soon find that out,” thought the old queen. But she said
nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead,
and
laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them
on
the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.
On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked
how she had slept.
“Oh, very badly!” said she. “I have scarcely closed my eyes all night.
Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something
hard, so that I am black and blue all over my body. It's horrible!”
Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea
right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real
princess
The Goose That Laid the
Golden Egg.
One day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found there an egg
all yellow and glittering.
When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw
it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But he
took
it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was
an
egg of pure gold.
Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by
selling his eggs. As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get
at once all the gold the Goose could give, he took the life of the
goose and opened
it only to find nothing.
Since each tale is told from three different points of view, it’s
really like reading six stories in one.
Plus, three fun-filled activities use content from the stories to build
reading comprehension, vocabulary, and thinking skills. Children ages
5–8 will enjoy this interactive adventure as they develop essential
reading skills.
Prepare your child for a lifelong love of reading!
