Extensive reading is essential for improving fluency
and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for contemporary, low-level
reading material for younger learners.
The Madagascar films are popular with children around the world
for their humorous, lovable characters and original storylines.



The Madagascar Popcorn ELT Reader is based on the first
film in the franchise.


In the New York Zoo, Alex, a lion; Marty, a zebra; Melman, a giraffe;
and Gloria, a hippo; are best friends.


But when Marty escapes in a bid to experience life outside the
zoo, his three friends break free to find him.


Their travels take them across the ocean en route for Africa,
until an accident on board find the animals washed up on the beautiful
but bewildering island of Madagascar.
