GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
The Easy Classics told by Carlo Scataglini is a new Erickson series which renders literary classics for children suitable for all, thanks to a series of simplifications which help children to read and understand the stories.
«Amongst the literary classics for children and teenagers are several masterpieces which have inspired and brought together older and younger generations. They are wonderful, timeless stories for all ages and they belong to everyone. I thought that facilitating and simplifying the most well-known stories could make reading as independent as possible».
Carlo Scataglini
