Everyday World
         Discovery World
                   Imaginary World

"The first thing I like about the Reading Worlds book is their stories, some are funny and some are exciting.  I enjoy reading them as they are easy to read and the pictures are very good.  My favourite one was Granny in the News where the Granny meets a leopard and gets her picture in the newspaper.  All my friends at school love the books too."
