The pairing of accessible concepts with the gentle humour and comforting characters of Percy makes return visits to the shelf feel like a familiar, friendly ritual.

Books Included in This Collection:
ABC
A gentle alphabet primer that invites early readers to meet letters in context. Through Percy’s park and his animal friends, children encounter simple words and familiar scenes, turning the ABCs into a friendly, memorable journey. The approachable text and charming illustrations support phonics and word-building while encouraging parent-child participation. This is the kind of title that makes first reading successes feel tangible, building confidence and a lifelong love of books.

123
Numeracy comes to life with playful counting in a park-filled setting. As little ones point to objects and creatures, they practice number sense, sequencing, and basic arithmetic concepts in a familiar, low-pressure environment. The book’s steady rhythm and gentle progression help children transition from counting aloud to recognizing quantities and patterns, a foundational step on the road to confident math learning.

Colours
A bright, friendly tour through the spectrum, where Percy and friends introduce colour names, shades, and simple comparisons. The visuals reinforce visual literacy and colour vocabulary, while the text keeps pace with early readers’ developing language. The book rewards careful looking and discussion—perfect for shared reading, prompts from parents or teachers, and sparking curiosity about how colours appear in the natural world.

Opposites
Big and small, fast and slow, hot and cold—this title makes abstract ideas concrete through story-driven scenes in Percy’s park. The contrasts are woven into everyday activity, helping children grasp the concept of opposites through repetition and context. It’s an excellent choice for early literacy and language development, and it invites lively discussion during storytime or classroom circle time.

One Snowy Night
A beloved seasonal tale, where Percy the Park Keeper tends to his animal neighbours as a blanket of snow transforms the park. This gentle, comforting adventure is ideal for read-aloud sessions, winter-themed lessons, and cozy bedtime rituals. The narrative emphasises kindness, community, and quiet courage in the face of changing weather—a timeless message that resonates with children and parents alike.

50 Things to Make and Do with Percy
A lively activity book that invites creative play inspired by Percy’s world. From simple crafts to imaginative games, it encourages procedural thinking, turn-taking, and fine motor skills. Perfect for rainy days or weekend projects, it helps families extend the reading experience beyond the page. The activities blend learning with fun, giving children tangible, hands-on ways to apply what they’ve learned from the stories while building a treasure trove of new memories.

Percy and Friends Activity Book
