A series of fun stories using very simple synthetic phonic-based text. Synthetic phonic learning is the process of reading by sounding the individual sounds of a word and then blending them together to read the word as a whole. Written in conjunction with an educational psychology expert.

Stephen Cartwright's delightful illustrations complement the text and are designed to stimulate further interest
