SAMPLE — Story 1 of 11

Alex was a hero with a mighty power. He could fly fast in the sky. One day, his friend Jan was stuck up in a big tall tree. "Help, Alex!" Jan yelled. Alex flew up fast. He grabbed Jan and brought her down safe. "You are the best hero!" Jan said. Alex had a big grin. "I am just helping my friend," he said. The two of them walked home. Alex kept his mighty power a secret from the rest of the kids.

In the PDF, every story uses the placeholder “[name]” that you can fill in with your child's name before printing.
