  • The Bears’ Holiday (Beginner Series)

    Age Range: 3+ years

    The Bears’ Holiday is a story about the fun to be had on a summer holiday, and the risks to be avoided.

Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme and bright pictures that can be “read” even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them go on reading.

    Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.

    Roald Dahl tells his story in his own words – and it’s all TRUE.
