Chapeuzinho Vermelho

The story of the girl who loses a slipper at the ball, told in Portuguese with full page illustrations. It belongs to a collection designed for shared reading, with concrete vocabulary and short sentences.

Charles Perrault

A clever cat turns his penniless owner into a marquis through sheer cunning. This Portuguese adaptation gives every scene its own illustration, so the plot stays clear even before a child reads fluently.

Charles Perrault

The duckling nobody wants grows up to discover he was always a swan. This Portuguese version keeps the tale to its essentials and leans on large illustrations, which makes it work well as a first read aloud.

Hans Christian Andersen

An illustrated tale in Portuguese about a mischievous young rabbit who ignores his mother and sneaks into the forbidden vegetable garden. The author's original watercolours run alongside a short text, ideal for reading aloud to children who cannot yet read on their own.

Beatrix Potter

Short poems written originally in Portuguese by one of the great names of Brazilian poetry. Rhyme and rhythm let the language in through the ear, something no prose story manages as easily at this age.
