These 25 readers are fables and stories written with controlled vocabulary. Each little book introduces new sounds, and is to be used after its corresponding page in the White Hmong Primer.
The stories were illustrated by Pao Choua Lor, then a college student, and are charming depictations of animals and traditional Hmong. Some of the stories are Aesop's fables and others are traditional or created animal tales. Most have a moral, or message about human behavior.
