Rule 2: A Station Mouse must never go out in the daytime.

GO, DOG, GO is certain to turn non-readers into readers with its wit, pace and 75-word vocabulary. The pictures are particularly helpful as clear illustrations of the concepts of number, colour and opposites introduced in the text. 'I can read it all by myself' is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading.
