《牛津阅读树》系列围绕Robinsons一家展开，讲述了他们日常生活中的点点滴滴。小儿子Kipper是捣蛋担当，宠物狗Floppy则是搞笑担当，它们俩为故事贡献了不少笑料，就连戏份少的Gran，每次出场都令人 惊艳 。之后，《牛津阅读树》逐渐生根发芽、扩张脉络，发展出了一套将自然拼读教学和牛津出版社分级体系有机结合的庞大的阅读体系。除了纵向的阶段递进，还有横向的阅读进程，即同一阶段的不同层次的类别阅读。其设计目的是为了满足严谨的教学、阅读能力及素养的培养三大方面，因此它的自然拼读教学原理和目前中国市面上自然拼读的产品有着明显的区别。
This exuberant story follows a Chinese American family as they prepare for the Lunar New Year. Each member of the family lends a hand as they sweep out the dust of the old year, hang decorations, and make dumplings. Then it's time to put on new clothes and celebrate with family and friends. There will be fireworks and lion dancers, shining lanterns, and a great, long dragon parade to help bring in the Lunar New Year. And the dragon parade in our book is extra long-on a surprise fold-out page at the end of the story. Grace Lin's artwork is a bright and gloriously patterned celebration in itself! And her story is tailor-made for reading aloud.
