These Choose Your Own Path illustrated storybooks make reading a lot more fun, and keep even reluctant readers turning the virtual pages.
Note that while all of these books are listed as appropriate for ages 4 and up, the language in them (words like “sought”, “quest”, “fierce”) seems to be more like third grade reading material. Very young children will likely need an older reader’s help.
