In 2013, we launched our Play and Learn with Wallace apps, which we developed with early years specialists to create an exciting and interactive early learning platform. While most publishers create apps from their books, our plan was always to produce books and apps together to give children an all-round approach to their learning. In May, we are launching our Play and Learn with Wallace series with three titles full of activities to help children master the key skills they will need for their first school years. We have also gone back to good old-fashioned early learning with our Wipe Clean Dot to Dot series, a simple, fun way to engage and entertain preschoolers and help them develop their pen control skills. Both series in their different ways lay the foundations of early learning and help children to prepare for starting school and the years beyond.
