Abridged Edition

Penguin Readers Level 1: Dynasties: Wolves (ELT Graded Reader)

Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series for learners of English as a foreign language. With carefully adapted text, new illustrations and language learning exercises, the print edition also includes instructions to access supporting material online. 
 
Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to bestselling authors and compelling content. 
 
The eight levels of Penguin Readers follow the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR). Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills. Before, during and after-reading questions test readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary. 
 
Dynasties: Wolves, a Level 1 Reader, is A1 in the CEFR framework. Short sentences contain a maximum of two clauses, introducing the past simple tense and some simple modals, adverbs and gerunds. Illustrations support the text throughout, and many titles at this level are graphic novels. 
 
In 2018, the BBC filmed a family of painted wolves in Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe. Sometimes life is good, and sometimes it is difficult. It is the same for painted wolves, and for all animal families.

A Biography

A beautifully illustrated celebration of one of Britain’s most beloved birds: the charming, comical yet mysterious puffin – the perfect gift for nature lovers. 
 
The puffin’s bright orange bill and striking black-and-white plumage have made it one of our most iconic seabirds. It has charmed nature lovers and inspired countless fables and stories, as well as becoming an emblem for children's literature. 
 
Follow the lifecycle of the puffin throughout a calendar year: from egg and nestling to juvenile puffling, to the adult bird’s courtship, breeding and feeding habits, and discover its place in popular and literary culture, in this richly illustrated and wonderfully insightful book that deserves a place on every birdwatcher's bookshelf. 
 
'A superb naturalist and writer' Chris Packham
