Created by beloved author-illustrator Nick Butterworth, each title uses the gentle animal characters from Percy's Park to make first concepts approachable. Brightly illustrated, sturdy pages suit little hands, story time, and early-years settings, giving parents, grandparents and teachers a trusted gift combining warmth and genuine early educational value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach of the four books focuses on one foundational early-years concept. The ABC title walks children through the alphabet, pairing letters with familiar animals and scenes from Percy's woodland park. The 123 counting book takes little ones from one to ten using everyday park objects and animals, building number recognition through gentle repetition and rhythm rather than rote memorisation. The Colours book uses bold, cheerful illustrations to introduce primary and secondary colour names, giving visual learners plenty to point at and name aloud. Opposites introduces simple comparative pairs — big and small, fast and slow, day and night — set within playful scenes that spark conversation between adult and child. Throughout, Nick Butterworth's soft, detailed artwork and cast of gentle animal characters, including Percy himself, provide continuity, so children already fond of the wider story series will recognise familiar friends while they learn. The set is designed for repeated read-aloud sessions, with simple text and clear visual cues supporting pre-reading and pre-numeracy skills for toddlers and preschoolers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour essential early-learning concepts in one collectible set: letters, numbers, colours and opposites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated by award-winning author-illustrator Nick Butterworth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamiliar Percy the Park Keeper characters make new concepts feel warm and approachable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports early literacy, numeracy, colour recognition and vocabulary development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy paperback pages sized for little hands and repeated read-aloud sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lovely gift for new readers, nurseries, and first home libraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNick Butterworth is a much-loved British author and illustrator, best known for creating the Percy the Park Keeper series, a firm favourite in homes and classrooms across the UK that also inspired a popular animated television adaptation.
