This title is part of a brand new set of phonically decodable reading books perfect for very early readers. These expertly levelled stories are engaging, and are exactly matched to Little Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised, used in schools across the UK.

The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive stories, accompanied by bright, contemporary, and humorous illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers with a "find the character" feature on each spread.
