Pitched at readers aged 3 to 7, each story follows friendly number characters through everyday adventures — birthday parties, football matches, a mysterious tower and a busy theme park — while gently introducing counting, comparing and simple calculation. Bright storytelling and approachable text make the set ideal for bedtime reading, classroom numeracy corners, or a confidence-building gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAcross four short, story-led adventures, The Digits bring numbers to life through everyday situations rather than dry worksheets. In one tale, a birthday celebration runs short on cake and seating, and the Digits share things out fairly — a playful route into more, less, doubling and halving. Another sees the gang exploring a strange, many-floored tower, where solving each landing means spotting number patterns and counting carefully. A third pits odd numbers against even numbers in a knockabout football match, turning odds and evens into a lively team rivalry. The final story follows a day at a theme park, where queuing for rides and sharing snacks becomes a chance to practise simple adding and taking away. Written in short chapters with plenty of dialogue, the books suit children building reading stamina, whether independently or shared with a parent or teacher. The recurring cast gives readers something familiar to return to, while each new setting keeps things fresh. Because the maths is woven into the plot rather than presented as a lesson, children absorb early number concepts almost without noticing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour complete stories in one paperback collection, ready to enjoy from day one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces counting, comparing, doubling\/halving and simple addition and subtraction through narrative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort chapters and lively dialogue suit both independent readers and shared read-alouds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA recurring, likeable cast of number characters keeps children engaged across all four titles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for home bookshelves, classroom numeracy corners, or as a thoughtful gift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTony Bradman is a well-established British author of children’s fiction, known for a substantial body of work spanning picture books, early readers and story collections, including his long-running Dilly the Dinosaur series.

Roman Boy sees a young protagonist confront Celtic rebels, a vengeful stepfather and his own self-doubt as he serves in the Roman legion under a false identity, uncovering long-hidden truths about his past. Greek Boy takes the series to Ancient Greece, following Nikos, son of an important Athenian politician, into a dangerous mission of espionage and treachery during the Persian Wars.
