This second reader picks up where the first leaves off, for the child or beginner ready for a little more. The twenty-one stories here are a touch longer, a touch richer, and a touch braver than the first book's — with more conversation, more storytelling in the past tense, and vocabulary that reaches beyond the home into the wider world. The tales carry the warmth and gentle adventure children love: a new neighbour climbing over the fence to make friends, a lakeside picnic that ends in laughter and rain, a schoolyard race that turns rivals into friends, a baker whose kindness to a raven is repaid, a lighthouse keeper's grandson learning what the light is for, a little girl meeting a whale at sea, a brave hedgehog who outwits a fox, a message in a bottle that finds a pen pal across the water, and a dog who cannot bark but saves the farm all the same. Each story is followed by a word list and a few questions, with every answer collected in the back. A note for grown-ups and a closing word frame the collection. It is the natural next step for a young reader who finished the first book and is hungry for more Icelandic.
