"Spirals" is the next step up from ZigZag and introduces children to longer stories.

Each illustrated title tells an exciting tale which is divided into short chapters.

Very new readers might tackle a chapter at a time, while more independent readers would be happy to read a complete story in one sitting. "Amy's Slippers" - Amy's mum is fed up with dirty footprints on the carpet, but Amy says that she can't find her slippers.

Now, if only she had some magic ones - wouldn't that be great?

Guess what is waiting for her when she gets home from school?
