Suitable from 5yrs +

These popular re-tellings of some of Shakespeare’s most famous plays are beautifully illustrated and feature clear and engaging text - perfect for bringing one of England’s best-loved playwrights to life!  Once young children understand the story, they will be far more inclined to enjoy the rich language of the original works as they grow older.

The Book Mums LOVE Usborne Farmyard Tales! 

 Usborne Books famous series Farmyard Tales have been enouraging young readers for thirty years.  The unique idea of “shared reading” means there is a simple line of text at the top of each page for the aspiring reader to attempt, with a longer paragraph for the confident reader or adult to expand the story. 

Combined with the late, great illustrator Stephen Cartwright’s little yellow duck to find on every page, this wonderful series really keeps young children engaged. 

 

 Once children are familiar with Poppy and Sam and all their adventures on Appletree Farm, there are a whole series of titles that help them to Tell The Time, Learn a Language, Make & Do Crafts and Cookery, introduce them to Nature, boxed games, jigsaws and activity cards.

Under £1 a book!

At The Book Mums, we are pleased to announce a fantastic way to start your child’s reading journey with this fabulous boxed set of all twenty Farmyard Tales for under £20!

Suitable from 2yrs upwards, this offer is only available whilst stocks last, so please use order code 53214 or contact us for FREE local delivery in the St Albans area.

 

 

“What a great book! We’ve been reading this for over a year, and now Millie can read the top lines for herself, so it has a new freshness.”
