Recognisable locations

Local children and tourists can enjoy spotting the places our hero's go to and have fun finding the buildings in the pictures. They can play a real life "Where's the dragon?" game of their own.

Social and historical context
​
The settings and activities of the characters provide a fondation for developing conversations. Learning about what people did and do and the impact on the local landscape, architecture and lifestyle.
Reading skills
The stories and pictures appeal to children. A pre-reader can enjoy studying the pictures and tell the story in their own way based on what they see. A love of reading can be encouraged by the tangible experience of holding a book and turning the pages to search for the characters and places the child recognizes.
