Each paperback follows a lovable animal character through a short tale built around one target sound, so little ones can practise blending and segmenting while it feels like fun, not a lesson. With activities included at the back of every book, this set suits parents and early years teachers alike.. About the Books. Each of the twelve stories in this collection is built around a specific phonic sound, using repetition, rhyme, and red-highlighted key words to help children spot and sound out the pattern as they read. From A Hat for Sam the Bat to A Mango for Mojo Meerkat, the cast of animal characters gives every book its own personality while keeping the phonics focus clear and consistent, so children build confidence one sound at a time. The stories are short enough for a single sitting, making them ideal for bedtime, car journeys, or a quick practice before school. At the end of each paperback, a simple phonics activity reinforces the sound just practised, turning reading into active, hands-on learning. Bright, friendly illustrations accompany every page, supporting comprehension for children still matching pictures to words. Packaged as a neat set of twelve, the collection is easy to store, pack for travel, or rotate through a classroom reading corner, and makes a lovely gift for a child starting their reading journey.. Twelve engaging stories, each focused on a single phonic sound for clear, structured learning. Key sound words highlighted in red to support recognition and reading confidence. Fun phonics activities at the end of every book reinforce what's been learned. Bright, character-led illustrations keep young children engaged from page to page. Compact paperback format is easy to store, gift, or take on the go. A lovely gift set for early years classrooms, home libraries, or new readers. About the Author.
