From the Back Cover
The classic story of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG has been adapted for the Beginner Book series. The magical car's famous adventures will delight beginner readers, as will the bold illustrations.
'I can read it all by myself' is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading.
Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme, and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child.
Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading.
