The stories are short and easy to read and it's nice that they have a word list at the back of every chapter with difficult words and phrases. The recap at the end of each chapter and the 'test' to test yourself were also helpful and fun! Sometimes the words bolded were not in the back, but my biggest issue with these stories are that they are just really really weird???

Anyway, I was really happy that I could read this in Italian relatively easy, so if you're starting to learn Italian I'd recommend giving this a try!

It's hard to read in a different language but this book definitely is a good place to start

Racconri brevi, facili e vari, alla fine c'erano domande a cui rispondere. Più per l'italiano di livello B2.
4 stelle perché fa il lavoro, niente di male da dire

Finalmente ho finito questo libro! È un libro per migliorare la conoscenza della lingua Italiana. Il livello è veramente facile e si può leggere senza troppa difficoltà. Le storie sono un pò pazze ma sono molto utili per imparare le nuove parole. E allora ho scritto questa recensione in Italiano! Mi piace più la storia che si chiama “La capsula spaziale”. Mi piace questo modo di studiare Italiano e cercherò più libri come questo.

(As a few other reviews have noted, a few of the answers on page 192 are incorrect which is not fantastic. I had to double check with my handy nearby Italian to check I had understood properly. And the choice of bold words (those added to the vocabulary lists) was sometimes a bit weird: some were easy and had been added while others which were clearly more obscure weren’t in the lists.)

I should note that the handy Italian has also proofread my Italian and corrected several errors in the making of this review :D
