Ant and Bee and the Kind Dog

By Angela Banner

'These were the books that taught me how to read' Anthony Horowitz.

A classic Ant and Bee reissue to treasure, that is perfect for children aged 3 and up. Designed for shared reading fun, this much-loved series will build reading confidence.

Over 100,000 Ant and Bee reissues already sold!

There’s a strange smell in the air and Kind Dog is determined to sniff out where it’s coming from. But when he sets off with Ant and Bee, he can’t find the source of the smell anywhere!

Ant and Bee teach children to read via word recognition and encourage story sharing with siblings and parents. Grown-ups read the black words, but the shorter, simpler red words are for young children to call out. Parents and grandparents who grew up with Ant and Bee will love sharing this nostalgic experience from the same era as Ladybird Read it yourself.

First published in 1950, Ant and Bee were in print for over 40 years. These new editions feature revised text and illustrations by original Ant and Bee creator Angela Banner. The adorably small format is perfect for little hands.
