A lovely little learning set!
These books were awesome!I liked all of the friends in Acorn Wood and all of the pictures. The numbers and the colours were fun to learn and look at.
Sarah (mother): My four-year-old thoroughly enjoyed reading these board books. Lovely to see the Acorn Wood characters which made it more accessible for him. The words were simple enough for him to try reading some of them but not too basic that it was boring. They had little sentence stories attached to the learning which made it so much more interesting and appealing. I think this set would be equally appealing for little ones learning to recognise letters, numbers and colours, as those who are starting to try and read words alone.... Read Full Review

Lovely little gift set to help toddlers learn about Colours, Counting, Friends, & Opposites.
Our youngest was delighted with this little box set, full of illustrations that he recognises from other works by Axel Scheffler and Julia Donaldson.

They're small but he loves them that way as they're so easy for him to carry round, and the little cardboard box they come in help keep them safe together.... Read Full Review
