The stories are incredibly short – only 100-300 words each, and each book in the set of 14 titles contains 2-3 stories. Collecting the stories in this way gives more of an appearance of a 'real’ book even though the stories are bite-sized, which helps to make the reader feel less self-conscious that they are reading something 'specialised’. The language level throughout this set of books is very low, and features such as short sentences, line spacing and illustrations help to create an encouraging experience for the reader.
