Melissa Crowton – illustratör

Bridging the gap between novelty board books and picture flats, this adorable new series encourages little readers to engage with a central character and then follow a simple plot. With questions to answer (What can you see at the farm? What noises do the farm animals make?) and interactive elements throughout, the child is drawn in from the outset. A rich reading experience, designed to stimulate speech and build book-confidence.

This cute little train-themed title introduces the concepts of size (small, medium, large), opposites and journeys. With busy, detailed scenes, lots to point at and name and a straightforward story-arc, this is the perfect introduction to a lifetime of reading!
