I Want That One! is a fun early reader where an overly keen child keeps picking things from the bottom of the pile, it seems he won’t learn his lesson, until they come to a pile of puppies.
Lots of repetition and a nice geometry lesson included make this a great free story book for early readers.
This level 1 book was brought to you from Pratham’s Storyweaver platform.
Author: Mala Kumar
Illustrator: Soumya Menon
Text and Images from I Want That – Early Reader
It was a holiday for Amma. She was reading a book. Anil had a holiday too. He
wanted to do…. SOMETHING!
“Amma, I want to see what is in that blue box!” said Anil.
“Later, Anil,
” said Amma.
Anil put a stool over a chair. He climbed up to get the box down.
“No, no! Not that one! All the boxes on top of that will fall on our heads, Anil!” said
Amma.
Anil was very angry. He was angry with his mother.

nice
it teaches us that when we behave badly we should not get rewards
I love this book, it´s very simple and beautiful. It´s very easy for children to understand what is the story about
Hey do u guys send books
No sorry we do not but some of the books have hard copies you can purchase directly from the authors’ sites.
not very clear in term of moral of the story..
Thanks Petrus – I think the moral of the story is that one must think before you act, eg think about consequences, what will happen if I grab the bottom one from the pile, the little boy finally realises his mistake when he sees the pile of puppies.
Hello I’m trying to collect books for toddlers, can I get these for free. If not do you have any leads to where I can get about 15 free books
Hi, all our books can be downloaded free, the ones in the “toddler” category will suit your needs. If this is for private or school use you may print them for hard copies if this is what you need.
