Penguin Readers is an ELT graded reader series for learners of English as a foreign language. With carefully adapted text, new illustrations and language learning exercises, the print edition also includes instructions to access supporting material online.

Titles include popular classics, exciting contemporary fiction, and thought-provoking non-fiction, introducing language learners to bestselling authors and compelling content.

The eight levels of Penguin Readers follow the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR). Exercises at the back of each Reader help language learners to practise grammar, vocabulary, and key exam skills. Before, during and after-reading questions test readers' story comprehension and develop vocabulary.

No Rules Rules,a Level 4 Reader, is A2+ in the CEFR framework. The text is made up of sentences with up to three clauses, introducing more complex uses of present perfect simple, passives, phrasal verbs and simple relative clauses. It is well supported by illustrations, which appear regularly.

Reed Hastings started Netflix with Marc Randolph in 1997. Their company has completely changed how we watch TV and films. In this book, Reed explains the secret to the company's success and how at Netflix, there really are NO rules.

Reviews

Vibrantly illustrated ... a beautiful, accessible volume, a must for primary schools, libraries and beyond.

—— The Bookseller

An entrancing picture-book retelling of Darwin's on the Origin of Species ... filled with informative, beautifully designed diagrams and maps.

—— The Guardian

Sabina's love of science and illustration combine wonderfully in this undeniably beautiful book, distilling Darwin's study down and then conveying it with complete clarity and obvious delight.

—— Sophy Henn

A great introduction to one of the most important books ever written.

—— RTE Guide

Evolution explained, in this strikingly accessible picture book...perfect for a younger audience

—— Picture Book Blogger

Sabina Radeva's book is a wonderful introduction to Charles Darwin's ideas. It will appeal to children, but also, by its deft handling of a number of common misconceptions, may well surprise many adults. She has not shied away from either historical language or scientific ideas and handles both with great charm and without oversimplification.

—— Alison M. Pearn, Associate Director , Darwin Correspondence Project

Shortly before the pandemic, I read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It's not an exaggeration to say I've thought of it every day since.

—— Curtis Sittenfeld , Guardian

[Sapiens] has been one of the most spectacular publishing successes of the past decade.

—— Killian Fox , Observer

Harari's out-of-the-box thinking is arguably his greatest strength... These theories are what moves history forward, and what makes the book so engaging for an astonishing number of people.

—— Katherine Prentice , Glasgow Guardian

Sapiens is an epic history of humankind, at once readable and wise and compelling and thought-provoking... A breath of fresh air.

—— Bookmunch

Perfect for younger readers... [and] filled with lively characters.

—— History Revealed
