Real books for beginners Join Rascal the dragon and his friends in the first six adventures that started the Rascal phenomenon! Includes: Rascal the Dragon Rascal in Trouble Rascal's Trick Rascal Takes Off Rascal at the Show Rascal and the Cheese In Rascal's world, dragons exist like dogs and fulfil all the doggy functions with dragon overlays like having two heads or being able to fly and breathe fire. These peculiarities go unremarked. Everything else in the world is normal (or as normal as Paul Jennings ever gets, let's face it). The text makes use of repetition, phonically regular words and building on meaning to aid ease of reading in these early chapter books. Read a Rascal story to your children and before long they'll read it to you.
