I bought this for my 4yo son who loves everything Fireman Sam. He has spent ages looking at these books, asking me to read them and putting them into the right order so that they spell Fireman Sam across the bottom.

This book comes highly recommended and is a suitable companion to the Doctor Who AnnualThe Official "Doctor Who" Annual ("Doctor Who").

I have been very keen to teach my son the letters of the alphabet but wanted to do it the right way. Having visited his school he will be attending next year, they do follow the Jolly phonics scheme and therefore these books have been great along with the work books. It's given me the confidence to teach and he has enjoyed the colourful pictures and tracing with his finger the letters. We are now moving on to book three after he has managed to read and write the letters in books one and two. Being a working parent and mum to a one year old aswell we are only able to do learning for an hour on a friday so these short to the point books are great. My husband also helps by going over a book for 5 mins at bedtime before reading a short story. It ... Read More:

My 2 yr old son owns the Ratatuille Pocket Library and the ITNG Pocket library and I found those book very flimsy and easily damaged. However the Roary pack seem to be made out of better quality card.
PROS:- Bright Pictures, Simple Text, Favourite Characters,
CONS:- Text is very short, Not all your favourite characters featured.
One for the designers I fancy. A delightful pop-up A to Z in a minimalist format that creative folk will love. Almost every letter has a three-dimensional aspect, the exceptions are O,P,Q and R which use a transparent page to turn the letters from one to another. V creates a W using a whole page of mirror foil. Everything else pops up or slides left to right with the letter S having two circles that revolve as the spread is opened.
The look and feel of the book is that it is aimed at grownups. The type is loosely based on Futura presented in black, red and white on black and white spreads. The paper construction is not particularly complex but the overall effect is very creative: like using a common dot for an i and j or a C ... Read More:

I bought this for my 6 year old son who loves colouring in. The reason I bought it was because i was fed up with him constantly asking "what can i draw?" Since having this book he hasnt asked me once and I am amazed at how detailed his pictures are now and how much thought and effort he puts in.
Much, much more fun than your bog standard colouring book! I even sneak a quick go when he goes to bed

This book soon became a favourite with our 20 month old son who is very into books and currently especially Thomas books. He would ask for 'Bertie' since this is about how Bertie the bus challenges Thomas to a race.
Although he enjoyed the sound button, and this did not last many days of rough toddler attention, there is plenty of opportunity in the text for making your own noises.
