In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Martin Luther King Jr., the inspiring minister and civil rights
activist. Little Martin grew up in a family of preachers: his dad
was a preacher, his uncle was a preacher, his grandfather was a
preacher... so maybe he'd become a great preacher too. One day, a
friend invited him to play at his house. Martin was shocked when
his mother wouldn't let him in because he was black. That day he
realized there was something terribly unfair going on. Martin
believed that no one should remain silent and accept something if
it's wrong. And he promised himself that - when he grew up - he'd
fight injustice with the most powerful weapon of all: words. This
moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra
facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the inspiring
activist's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling series
of books and educational games that explore the lives of
outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and
activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began
life as a child with a dream. This empowering series offers
inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats.
The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading
aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardback versions present
expanded stories for beginning readers. Boxed gift sets allow you
to collect a selection of the books by theme. Paper dolls, learning
cards, matching games and other fun learning tools provide even
more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to
children. Inspire the next generation of outstanding people who
will change the world with Little People, BIG DREAMS!

Learn to read with Peppa and friends! First Words with Peppa is a
levelled reading series of Peppa Pig stories for children who are
learning to read. The series is based on the Dolch Sight Words
list; a list of the 220 most common words found in children's
English-language reading material. The five levels of First Words
with Peppa are suitable for children aged 4-6, or younger if
supported by an adult. This Level 1 Box Set includes four
Storybooks and four Sticker Activity Books. With helpful reading
tips for parents, games to encourage repetition, and audio
available for all of the stories, First Words with Peppa is a fun
way for children to learn to read. Each Storybook features a story
from the well-loved Peppa Pig TV episodes, retold to introduce
around ten Sight Words. These words are repeated regularly
throughout the story. It is through this repetition that children
become familiar with the words and begin to recognise them. Any
words in the story that aren't Sight Words, character names or
important nouns, are phonically decodable so that children can use
their phonics knowledge to read these extra words. Included in this
box: The four stories in First Words with Peppa Level 3 are:
Captain Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig's Birthday, The Castle, and The
Scarecrow. They introduce the following Sight Words: after, again,
an, any, ask, as, by, could, every, fly, from, give, going, had,
has, her, him, his, how, just, know, let, live, may, of, old, once,
open, over, put, round, some, stop, take, thank, them, then, think,
walk, were, and when.
