Reviews
''This series is fantastic for providing moral tales for early years and a good read for older pupils.'' * The Teacher (March 2011) *
'One of the strengths of the 'White Wolves' series of early readers, published in consultation with the highly esteemed Centre for Literacy in Primary Education is that it brings some little known traditional tales to life in a vivid and accessible format.' * Books for Keeps (May 2011) *
