Amazing Archie is an exciting story for wildlife fans and budding environmentalists who are beginning to read independently.

It is perfect for children aged 4+ who are reading at book band blue 4. Archie the bat loves to do tricks. The other bats think he is silly. But Archie's dare-devil flying performances might just save their home! The Froglets series is perfect for children aged 5-7 who are reading on their own, with fun stories of no more than 200 words.

A reading game at the end of each book encourages retelling the story and boosting vocabulary.
