• A straightforward storyline (not abstract metaphor or literary devices)
• Uncomplicated, easy to understand sentences
• A little humor
• A moderate amount of text
• A familiar story (folk tales, fairy tales, or fables are good)
• A story that depicts aspects of daily life (cooking, sewing, farming, animals, gardening, and taking care of a child or someone who is ill)
• Beautiful illustrations are a plus (pictures you can dwell on and talk about)
