There Was A Crooked Man

I picked up this book, because this book's pictures are very cute. So I think I want to lend this book. This book is very interesting for me! In this book, a sentence is very short and a story is very short too! So this book is very easy to read! However, I could not understand this story when I read this book in the first time. “crooked” this word's meaning didn't understand. If you understood this word's meaning, you would enjoy this story! I think so! Please read this book, it is very interesting! I want to read for my children someday.


This book is in the Usborne Young Reading series. It is a Level 2 book, so it is little sentences and short story (about 30 pages) it is very easy to read.
