Each of these types comes in black and white and colour. Separate files are provided for American English and British English.

Reviews

  • Neverending entertainment

    I have been using this for many lessons in a row and the kids are still not bored. Yes, it is a lot of vocabulary to learn for little ones, but given that it is entertaining for them, they do not seem to mind going back to it. They do love the book so what is better than making their own?
