Read It Yourself - Aladdin (Level 1) Read it Yourself is a series of beautifully illustrated traditional tales and informative non-fiction, written with a carefully structured vocabulary to make them accessible to young readers.

Death and life are neatly dovetailed by the supreme cabinetmaker of evolution.
