Green Series
Content Columns
The Green Series builds on the Yellow Series. Like the Yellow Series, it includes both illustrated and photo stories.
The Green Circle – Illustrated Set is painted with vivid colours, and the stories revolve around animals and young characters. The Green Circle – Photo Set is created with engaging photographs. The stories in both sets have more of a narrative structure, describing what the characters are doing and experiencing. The Green Circle – Photo Set starts at a slightly higher level than the Green Circle – Illustrated Set (Book 1 of the Photo set aligns with Book 4 of the Illustrated set).
