This is a new title in the Usborne Reading Programme based on the famous Russian folktale, which is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories. Prince Ivan sets off in search of the Firebird which has been stealing his father´s golden apples. A story of bravery, determination and magic that has captivated generations, and inspired iconic paintings, music and ballet. It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a senior lecturer in education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University.
