ABOUT 'SMART READS for Kids'...”Love Art, Love Learning” Welcome. Designed to expand and inspire young minds; this is a range of short educational books (with supporting free online resources) for ages 7+.

Locations or events mentioned are always accompanied by a colourful map or a snippet of history so that the opportunity to learn some general knowledge does not pass the young reader by. • Vocabulary. A manageable number of new words are introduced and reused. They are always in bold with clear definitions and pronunciations. There is also a Glossary. • Maths. At least one maths statement and its accompanying calculation is always included. • Concentration. Each book is in the friendly first person and a trail of footprints always leads to a cartoon animal at the end. The author asks questions of the reader and there is always a quiz.
