Designed for children at Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum, this series further develops the "Learning with Letts" format (established for Key Stage 1), combining the imaginative stimulation of the picture story book with the learning and practice opportunities offered by an activity workbook. The lively adventure stories are interspersed with double-page activity spreads designed to test and develop the English, maths and science skills being learned and assessed at school. The book is designed to boost and consolidate what children have learned at school at Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum. It can also be used by children having problems, or lacking confidence, in English, maths and/or science, and needing the motivation to learn provided by the entertainment and stimulation of the stories and illustrations.
