This selection of books will help little ones learn to read and write for the first time, whether they’re preparing for school, or just practising at home. Bursting with helpful activities, practical wipe-clean pages and entertaining rhymes, those A-B-Cs have never been easier.

How many star jumps can your child do? How many times can they flap their arms? How many words can they say in a minute? There are a number of fun 60-second challenges in our new In A Minute book that will encourage kids to think about time. Have a go now and find out what your little one can do in a minute!

Just when you thought you’d put those new school nerves behind you, your little one is off to ‘big school’! Laura Earnshaw, founder of myHappymind and author of My Happy Mind, shares her advice for getting your child – and yourself – ready.

New school starters can learn their shapes and the days of the week with Topsy and Tim; practise playtime and numbers with Peppa Pig; and find out about colours, family trees and making friends with activities from Wise Before Five!

Help Mabel get to the top of the mountain, make her a friend and brighten up Mabel’s rainbow with our fun-filled activity pack!

Peppa Pig fans will love playing doctors and nurses! With these colour-in and cut-out dress-up pages, they will be able to create their very own doctor's badge, bag, hat and even a stethoscope! Perfect for keeping little ones busy.

Whether your little one has begun to venture into independent reading or still wants to be read to, we have just the selection of stories. Fuel their love for reading with early learning books, bedtime tales, and books to guide them through their first experiences.

Your little reader is now at school, so they’ll be going through a transformative time; socially and educationally. Their reading interests will also be developing and to help them along, we’ve hand-picked the best books for five-year-olds.

Your little one is likely to be gaining confidence in reading at this age, as well as writing, learning sums and more. But they probably still love to settle down and read a story or two with you, so we’ve picked out a selection of books to cover everything.
