"Spirals" is the next step up from ZigZag and introduces children to longer stories.

Each illustrated title tells an exciting tale which is divided into short chapters.

Very new readers might tackle a chapter at a time, while more independent readers would be happy to read a complete story in one sitting. "The Flamingo Who Forgot" - A flamingo stands in a lake on one leg.

She's forgotten something and she just can't remember what it is!

A succession of animals comes past with some suggestions, apart from the hyena, who just laughs at her.

Finally another flamingo comes past - can he tell her what it is she has forgotten?
