The set consists of eight well known titles, adapted to Maltese by the talented author, now also the editor of two magazines: Il-Maga¿in ghat-tfal Maltin u Ghawdxin u Il-Maga¿in ghan-Nisa Maltin u Ghawdxin.

The titles in the series are: Pinokkju; Is-Sbejha Rieqda; Is-Sbejha u l-Mostru; Is-Suldat tal-Landa; Ic-Cinji tal-Kampanja; Aladin u l-Lampa Magika; Ic-Ckejkna Behemina; Il-Vjaggi ta’ Guliver.

Each book consists of 16 pages with large print and each story is accompanied by eye catching colourful pictures.

The books will make an ideal present for any occasion and this Christmas five year olds to eight year olds will surely be happy to find this set under their Christmas Tree.

Congratulations once again to Natalie Portelli for her dedication and hard work to amuse children and improve literacy skills in Malta.
