Each book has a non fiction and a fiction section. The fiction story appears in two formats - one with simple texts for poor readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated 'speech bubble' version of the same story, for those who are just starting to learn to read. These two levels of entry give access points for children and young adults with different reading ages. The vocabulary of each book is carefully limited, with simple sentences to reinforce reading skills, which make the books suitable for even the poorest readers.
'Death' describes the death rituals observed in many countries, and answers such questions as 'What do you do when someone dies?' The dark fiction story 'Not My Fault' features a horrific car crash.
