Each book has 4 interesting stories.
Up to now Book 1-7 ~$20 @ + $5 (CD)
The story titles are the same as the HONG KONG Version - Shared Reading Programme (Longman) which is used in some of the Kindergarten in HK.
Although the stories are the same but for the China erison, the sentenses are rephrased and consisted of more vocabularies. My son loves to compare the difference between his school story book with this Primary English Graded Readers.
牛津故事乐园 /英语阅读系列 Oxford Storyland Readers

(The stories are also interesting. The printing is not so good as Longman primary graded reader but it's cheaper in price.)

整套書大陸版有16本書,我買了12本,欠缺6A,6B,7A,8A,即FXPC提及的Level 10(The Girl from the Sea, Typhoon (6A) The Fisihing Rock, Save the Animals (6B), Level 11: Ghost Festivals, The Young Brother (7A), Level 12: The Snow Queen, Happy and the Plums (8A).總的來說,套書非常超值.如果你接受大陸版的"First Steps to Reading",這套書的字體,印刷質地,又是一本書有兩三個故事,一定可以接受這套書,只是要考慮小朋友的程度而決定買什麼.
又如若大人喜歡Agatha Christie的書的話,部分書Dxxx有得賣,原價RMB7.8一本,我買的時候賣RMB2.3,另外每本加1元手續費.印刷形式與紙張跟Mills & Boon, Silhouette出版的書差不多.買了: Destination Unknown, The Moving Finger, The Man in the Brown Suit and Ordeal by Innocence,外文出版社(Foreign Languages Press,World Detective Stories).
I found 《小学英语分级阅读》Primary English Graded Readers (Grade 1 - 7) and 牛津故事乐园 /英语阅读系列 Oxford Storyland Readers (Grade 1A and 1B only) at Countrywind (MK) last week.
*The readers are all in English (The Chinese translation present at the end each stories.)
