One of most special times of the day is reading time with your little one, which is why we wanted to share six of our current favourite children’s books.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

We know the quality of kid’s books can vary and when your little one likes a book, they want to read it again, and again, and again. So, here’s a helping hand with some book recommendations that both you and your child will enjoy. As an added bonus you can earn money back on them to top-up your their savings too!<\/p>\n

The B On Your Thumb<\/i> is a fab book made up of 60 poems to help with your little one’s reading and spelling. It’s packed with hilarious illustrations and is a great way to explore the silliness of the English language.<\/p>\n
