Adventure Story Books
Follow Danny, Lottie, and friends on real-world adventures filled with letter-sound spotting fun. Every story is packed with hidden Alpha-Pics — illustrations where children discover letters as the tale unfolds.
Meet the Series
Each of the five books follows Danny (and his magic Alpha-Belt!), his sister Lottie, and their best friends Tatum and Jo on exciting adventures with their grandparents.
Grandma's Special Birthday Picnic
Join Danny and Lottie as they help plan a very special surprise picnic for Grandma. Along the way, Danny's Alpha-Belt helps the family spot hidden letter sounds in everything around them.
In this picture book, children, parents and teachers can search for hidden lower-case letter sounds in our alpha-pics.
Each alpha-pic helps children recognise, sound out and remember the shapes and sounds of the single letters in the alphabet.
A Trip to the Nature Reserve
Danny's Alpha-Belt leads the gang on a wildlife adventure through the nature reserve. With creatures hiding around every corner, there are letter sounds to discover everywhere you look.
In this picture book, children, parents and teachers can search for hidden lower-case letter sounds in our alpha-pics.
Each alpha-pic helps children recognise, sound out and remember the shapes and sounds of the single letters in the alphabet.
A Trip to the Farm
This double-length adventure spans a full day at the farm — from morning to afternoon. It's the first book to introduce both lower-case and Capital letter sounds, making it a brilliant step-up for growing readers.
In the first part, children, parents and teachers can search for hidden 'lower-case' and 'Capital' letter sounds in our alpha-pics:
Blue = lower-case · Red = Capital letter sounds
