Worried Arthur - The Birthday Party is a beautifully illustrated ebook from Ladybird.
Arthur is a penguin and a worrier. One morning he wakes up feeling excited and worried all at once. Dad has promised him a birthday party and there's an awful lot to think about. Will Ben burst all the balloons? Will Dad perform his terrible magic tricks? Or might it be the very best birthday party a little penguin ever had?
The gentle text by Joan Stimson and fantastic illustrations by Jan Lewis make this a lovely book that is perfect for young children. Follow the audio as each line is highlighted and read the story together.
Look out for other Worried Arthur titles also available: The Big Match and Countdown to Christmas.
A lovely series of picture books . . . Based on reality rather than a fantasy kingdom which make her much easier to relate to. The adorable illustrations, coupled with innocent stories, makes these books ideal for reading aloud . . . Sure to become real favourites
