This series is worth looking out for. They really do read aloud well and are extremely popular with beginner readers. Charlie, Emma and Alberic features a small fire-breathing dragon who goes to school, takes part in the school play (St George and the Dragon, naturally) and visits the seaside. It's gentle, unambitious stuff of a kind that goes down well with young children.

A follow-on from Boastful Rabbit (now in Magnet, 60p), Oh Really, Rabbit! is a collection of rabbit folk tales from all over the world retold in simple, direct style and starring our canny, indestructible hero, Rabbit. Ruth Manning-Sanders is a masterly storyteller and this is a welcome addition to he other animal tales in this series.
