Boris and Sid go on a tram

This is a short simple narrative, written so that any child, even those who are just beginning to recognise print, can read it. It uses a repeated phrase and easily decodable words. Fun, with great illustrations, this is a winner.

Goldilocks

The Race Across the River

This beautifully illustrated retelling of the traditional tale explains how each year came to be named after an animal.
