This modern version of the classic story takes a new twist with a strong character who is both inventive, smart and able to stand up for herself as she escapes the witches tower.
I love the ending which sees this Rapunzel sporting a short hair cut, working as the palace inventor, becoming best friends with the prince and employing the evil witch.
A truly engaging and fun twist to this tale of the beautiful Rapunzel who is trapped in a tower from little .
With illustrations that capture the essence of the story, this book is a must on every little girls bookshelf.

Book number four in the feeling friends series is just as engaging and entertaining.
Beautifully illustrated by Megan Andrews.

Eventually she gathers her courage and discovers that the scary noise is just a little mouse.
Together with the mouse she finds the power inside her to help her be brave when she doesn’t feel brave at all.
A lovely way to illustrate fear and anxiety to our little ones and equip them with coping tooils for when the world seems too big.

This easy to take along workbook is full of fun home learning activities for children aged 3 to 5 years old.
Written by teaching experts, it supports a preschool / foundation phase curriculum and teaches key skills for English.
The pages contain a wide variety of activities to keep the children engaged and the instructions are clear and simple.
I especially like that the layout is uncluttered, making it perfect for young learnears who may get distracted by too much on a page.
Clear, uncluttered layout
The activity also provides answer sheets so as a parent you can check the activity was completed correctly.
We started working in this book this morning and Hamish thoroughly enjoyed the few activities he has done.
Because there is such a wide variety of activities, you can focus on those your child finds easy and move onto the harder pages as you work through the book.
💥It is important to note that South African children learn their alphabet much later than British children and so many of the phonetic and reading activities may only be introduced to them at school from 5 years old.
