Early readers will relate image to words. �Handy ‘How to Read This Book’ page at the back!

Learning through play

Child’s Play is more than a publishing programme, it is a philosophy. A child’s early years are more important than any other: this is when children learn most about the world around them, and when they acquire the language they need to survive and grow. Child’s Play provides children, parents and teachers with opportunities to learn through play, participate in motivational activities and extend interactive communication; developing the whole person through the senses, the intellect and the imagination. Child’s Play books are innovative and inclusive, shining a spotlight on all children and representing our diverse world. Every child should be able to find themselves in the books they read. Books play a vital role in building the foundations for learning, and exposure to quality books from an early age helps to develop an enquiring mind and a lifelong love of reading.
