About the book
This is a story book for children who are just starting to read in English.
What the book is
It is a story about a little panda who did not have any friends. His dream was to find a friend, so one day he decided to travel — and this is how his adventures begin.
Who it is for
For children taking their first steps in English and learning to read. It works well for reading together with a parent or with the teacher during a lesson.
How it helps learning
The story is written in very simple language using Present Simple, so the child meets one grammar structure in a living context and remembers it without drilling.
What children learn
The book combines reading, grammar in context and creative work.
Reading in English
Simple text gives the first experience of reading a whole story independently.
Present Simple in context
Present Simple appears on every page — as part of the story, not as a rule in a table.
Creative tasks
At the end of the story children can make their own panda, create a house and colour.
Motivation to continue
The book comes with a toy — Panda Tiki or his friend Red Panda Reddy — so reading turns into play.
How to use the book
The book works both at home and in lessons: read together first, then discuss and do the creative task.
Step 1
Read together
A parent or the teacher reads the story aloud with the child — one episode at a time.
Step 2
Discuss it in the lesson
In class the story becomes a speaking topic: what happened to Tiki, who he met, what came next.
Step 3
Do the creative tasks
The tasks at the end consolidate vocabulary: make your own panda, build a house, colour the characters.
Inside the book
A few spreads and illustrations from the book.
Why it works
The book was created by a practising teacher and is used in real lessons with children.
Written by a teacher
The author is Anna Yeshchenko, an English teacher with 18 years of experience and a Cambridge TKT certificate (3 modules).
Tested in lessons
The story and tasks are used in individual 60-minute lessons — online and in person in Marbella.
One grammar point at a time
Simple language and Present Simple keep the start light for the child.
Materials included in the lesson price
For Anna’s students learning materials are not billed separately — they are already part of the lesson price.
