Summer for every age
For the youngest, summer is small things that feel huge: a friend sitting at the water's edge hugging both knees because the ice cream fell, or a little crab popping out of the sand right between two feet and waving a claw hello. From six come the challenges: a sandcastle contest with two hours on the clock, or a dozen crabs bursting out of the rocks in a wild race at the turn of the tide.
Stories for the trip
On holiday, stories travel: in the car, in the tent, at nap time. Every story downloads as an MP3 to play offline, and at the important moments your child decides what happens next.
