Blitz! 1 - Blitz

Blitz!' is the exciting first part in the popular AVI series of the same name for beginning readers aged 6 and up.

Far away, beyond the moon, floats ball Zero. On that ball lives Blitz, a green spaceman. He lives all alone. He doesn't mind, until a bird lands on his ball. Blitz and the bird Tjilp become friends. But after a while Tjilp wants to return to earth. Only then does Blitz feel how lonely he is. He builds a rocket and flies to earth, looking for a friend who looks like him. But is there anyone on earth like Blitz?

It seems simple, but try it: writing an exciting story for children who have just started their reading career. Rian Visser knows the art! 'Blitz!' meets all the standards for a first reading book: large letters, a font that is also easy to read for dyslexics, easy words, short sentences that always start on a new line, concise chapters and many funny illustrations by Lars Deltrap. Luckily, there are many more books in the 'Blitz!' series!

Reading level: AVI E3/M4 (NL) and grade 1 end/grade 2 middle (Belgium).
