E.A.E.P.'s Sparrow Readers are stories to enjoy. They have been particularly developed with the middle primary school child in mind and as a curtain- raiser to the popular E.A.E.P. Junior Readers Series. Children are encouraged to read as many of the stories in the series as they can. Repeated reading of these books will be helpful in improving the child's understanding of the English language. We all enjoy reading or listening to good stories. But have you ever wondered where all these stories came from? You will find out about this in the first story in this book. In the second story, you will read about the magic that gave all the jungle animals their colours.
