Sample Text from Race Driver Callum Makes a Car – (early readers book)
Callum is a cool racecar driver. He can speed by really fast.
Nobody can turn as quickly as him.
Nobody can zoom along the road like Callum can.
He is the best.
Callum can dodge this way and that.
He is a wizard at the wheel.
Callum races blue cars and orange cars
and green cars and red cars.
