There are links to Esperanto ebooks to download, but are there any ebooks books written for children?

Basically I want a book that will be half words I know, and half I don't. I've only started learning Esperanto a few days ago, so I'm hoping to start with something pretty basic.

I am going through the lessons, but I'm hoping for a nice book to break it up and give me something new.

I don't know any children's book in esperanto, even if I think some exist, so I hope someone else will give you the answer you want.

But, did you see in the lernu course intermediate, the course "Gerda Malaperis"? It's actually a book (detective story) created for beginers, with a progressive amount of difficult words...maybe you should try it to see if you have an enought good level to read it.

Gerda has a pretty boring story, however. But I know some beginners who liked it, simply because they're so thrilled that they can read and understand it.

There are some children's books in Esperanto, but generally not downloadable online. I don't know if I'd focus on children's books for Esperanto. The linguistic difficulty of a children's book is less different from a regular book than you might think. The main difference is that the book tells the story in fewer words.

Thank you for the responses. I didn't know about the Gerda course, I've had a read through the first few pages and it looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for, thank you!

How interesting the story is is not a big concern of mine. You are right, it is interesting enough just being able to understand what is happening.

Thanks again.

There are many Esperanto children's stories... though most are only available as hard copy from one of the book services

Now is definitely the time to read it, then; you might enjoy it! Pretty much everyone who waits till they speak Esperanto well before reading that book has trouble getting through it. I forced myself to finish it, just to be able to say I'd read it, but I know lots of people who simply couldn't take it anymore and never bothered finishing.

What, but I enjoyed Gerda malaperis... ploro.gifploro.gif

The beginning was kind of clunky, and the end was special. However, I really enjoyed the middle, especially that bad little boy (Rolf/Ralf??). I thought he was so ridiculous, but I liked him.

It's a website that allows you to download a whole bunch of Esperanto books. Also, I remember seeing Alice in Wonderland and I think some stories by Hans Christian Anderson in the list.

When you read it, did you speak Esperanto well, or were you a beginner?

Ehh, I read it some time after I finished Ana Pana, so a beginner. Although, I still consider myself a beginner, so ... yeah.
