Lilli is looking forward to her first day of school and would love to take her horse with her, but is that going to work? Meanwhile, Leon is wondering what a foal is doing at the supermarket. Friends Lotta and Mia are competing in a vaulting tournament. Hopefully the difficult movement the girls have practiced so many times on the back of their horse will work. And circus horse Bella has to prove that Miri can rely on her.

About the Series

The Reading Raven series is designed to encourage beginning readers by providing fun and exciting stories at each ability level, from their first efforts at reading alone to more advanced chapter books Each Reading Raven book includes reading riddles, puzzles to solve using information in the story. This is a fun way to check how well children understand what they read. The first level features short texts with lots of pictures that provide clues to the story's meaning. These books are written in extra-large print. When children are ready for longer stories, the second level of Reading Raven offers short chapter books, also in large print with illustrations that help readers follow the text. The third level is for readers who are becoming proficient, with longer chapters and increasingly complex stories, but still with accompanying pictures and highly readable print.
