Ideal for sharing with toddlers, Ladybird I'm Ready to Read: Knock! Knock! is perfect for helping young children take their first steps towards learning to read. Little ones will laugh as they listen to the funny tales and look at the beautiful illustrations.
When Chick finds something in the field, she tries to find out what it is. Is it a rock or a brick, is it a ball or a trick?
Written by acclaimed children's poet Judith Nicholls, this fun animal story from Ladybird uses rhythmic text, rhyming words and repeated patterns of sound that children will love to shout out and repeat. It is perfect for language development, building a child's vocabulary and nurturing the skills needed for learning to read.
Look out for these other titles in the Ladybird I'm Ready to Read series: Snick-Snack Sniffle Nose, The Tale of the Snail and Trip-Trot Tippy-Toes. Why not collect them all?
