Advantages: Run alongside curriculum

Disadvantages: None

I am a great fan of this publisher, they seem to have done their research into what makes kids tick. I've been to a couple of DK book mornings and seen their products at various outlets, from WHSmiths to School fairs.
When my children were toddlers they loved the PB Bear range, such as Where is PB Bear? (3.99) Not only does it tell a story but you also have to find a tiny toy hidden on each page.
Recently we bought Carol Vordermans English and Maths activity books for Key Stage 1 (Age 5 - 6) priced at £2.99 in retail stores, available for £2 at a DK party. My son loves them.32 pages of different excercises revolving around the school curriculum, the English book has vowel sounds, capital letters, rhymimg words and short stories.
The Maths exercises have Hundreds Tens and Units, puzzles, odd and even and sharing out problems. Once each page is completed a gold star can be applied with a special certificate at the end of the book. There is a parent guide and and helpful support advice aswell.
This particular range starts at Preschool age (3 - 5) through to Key Stage 2 upper (10 - 11)
I highly recommend these books especially at a reasonable price.
