The Pop-up, Pull out!

Wouldn't it be fun to explore the world with your children, showing them all the interesting facts and figures they have never imagined? With simply one book in hand, you can avoid the hassle of actually travelling to different places in the world. The Picture Atlas, The Animal Atlas and Space Book contain a 3D pop-up globe, animal scene and solar system respectively, with amazing picture maps, pull-out pages, quizzes and masses of fascinating facts. In the Picture Atlas, you and your children can find out about continents and countries, people and places, flags and features and a lot more. In the Animal Atlas, there are hundreds of different creatures of the animal kingdom, such as mammals, reptiles, insects and birds. In the Space Book, this fact-filled page-turner will surely satisfy even the most curious children about the solar system. These books would be able to improve your children's knowledge about different facts and figures on the related subjects.



Hope you have a wonderful time exploring the world and space with your children!

The Oxford Reading Tree

The Oxford Reading Tree is a world-renowned series of children's books designed for children aged 0-8 to help them develop early reading skills, introduce them to phonics in a fun and systematic way, and offer a simple and easy to use resource for teaching comprehension skills and strategies to junior readers. The Oxford Reading Tree is used by 80% of primary schools and is the most popular reading scheme in the UK. The books are carefully categorised into various reading levels and so you can easily find books that suit your children most.

We highly recommend The Oxford Reading Tree's Biff, Chip and Kipper's stories, which consist of 9 reading stages. Language comprehension is at the heart of them as the multi-layered stories follow a group of characters through real, engaging storylines. Stories have been written using a mix of high-frequency and phonic words which can be blended and sounded out. Moreover, interesting historical characters and facts are also introduced in the more advanced stages, allowing your children to develop reading skills as well as acquiring knowledge about the world history. They are truly ideal to consolidate our children's English skills and broaden their horizons.




Enjoy reading with your children!

For Children aged 3 to 6

When our children are not toddlers anymore, with their minds slightly more mature and are starting to question about things around them, what would be better if we can introduce books to them that are fun, thought-provoking, and at the same time teach them correct values and attitudes that they should pursue in life? We highly recommend Donaldson's "The Gruffalo" and "The Snail and the Whale", both of them being bestsellers and the latter one is named by the former British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, as one of his all-time favourites.

The Gruffalo is a story about a quick-witted mouse who scares the Gruffalo, the biggest and scariest creature in the woods, away. The Snail and the Whale is about how a tiny snail hitches a ride on a humpback whale and saves the whale when he is beached, showing that the smallest creature can do the greatest thing of all.



We hope that both you and your children will find them enjoyable!
