This week we are positively giddy about the big steps books. Easy to access board books with great pictures to help you approach all sorts of steps with your little ones.
If only they continued on and did 'I'm Paying My Taxes', or 'My Dashboard Light is Blinking', we'd be all in!

Books in the series...
I'm Starting Nursery
We Can Get Dressed
We're Having a Baby
No More Nappies
I'm Not Sleepy
Let's Brush our Teeth

Do you have a child starting a new school?

We have a selection of books that can aid little ones, support older children or be a help to parents.

There is still plenty of summer holiday left! But we know for some September can need a little bit of prep. Hopefully we can find something to help.

Why might we have grouped these books together? Can you guess? It's coming tomorrow! 🌞🌚

Myths are taking over at Word on the Street!

If you would like to introduce your children to these exciting stories then look no further! Here are three easy to follow retellings for curious minds.

Beautifully illustrated, they are perfect for 5 and up, missing out all the blood lust and horror of the original myths whilst still being interesting for the reader!
