‘Interest age’ refers to the appeal of the content of the books and gives consideration to both unenthusiastic and able readers.

We see books as an invaluable learning and development aid, especially in the first few years of life, so our books are not only entertaining and stimulating, but also highly engaging and interactive. Our books meet European Safety Standards (CE mark) and all our board books are sturdy and have rounded edges.

8 Key 1 Square-rigged masts allow the hoisting of numerous small sails that are more efficient than a single large sail. Fore-and-aft sails can be flown with a reduced crew and are efficient when working to windward.

2 A cannonball hole in a small sail affects only one sail.

A hole in a large sail would eventually tear a larger area and reduce further the vessel’s flying power.
