Oscar’s review!

Oscar gives a well considered review about this very special book, Charlie the Crow. He points out lots of interesting things about the book, including the special sensory pages in the back of the book, and how much he enjoyed the book.

Bonus Inclusive Sensory Section!

Inclusion and accessibility is important. Not everyone can see, or hear, or experience books in the traditional manner, so we’ve added this multi-sensory section for children with severe/profound and/or multiple learning disabilities.

At the back of the book you’ll find a series of pages – one for each bird Charlie meets.

Dual Language? What?

It means the text is available in English AND another language on the same page. Cool, hey?

Sharing the love of languages and learning is a priority for us – all our books will be available in bilingual forms.

If there isn’t a language available and you’d like to see it – let us know!
