Leila was never keen on defining children by their age group or deciding what they should or should not be able to do or read at certain times – which is why we have divided her work into For Beginners, For Children of All Ages, and For Grown-ups.
This is the middle group, and they vary a fair bit in reading ability, but if they were all on a shelf together, Leila would let the child choose for themselves, and let them change it or not, for themselves. The books for less able readers are naturally more lavishly illustrated, an area in which Leila was very particular, whenever she was free to exercise her own judgement.
