Nobby Travels – Magical travel books for little people

Nobby Travels is aimed at children aged 4–8 years old. It tells the tale of a Chocolate Labrador puppy that has a magical dog flap which allows him to travel to different countries. When he jumps through it he is greeted by a dog from the country then taken on an adventure involving fact and fantasy – teaching him and the readers about the country.

Each Nobby Travels book begins in exactly the same way ...

"Night night, Nobby!"

The Chocolate Labrador puppy settled down in his basket. His owner switched off the kitchen lights and shut the door. He heard the stairs creaking, and then it was quiet.

He should be going to bed now. But something told Nobby it was not a night for sleep. He sniffed the air. Amongst the wafts of tonight's dinner and damp boots drying by the fire, there was something else – a whiff of magic.

It was a clear night, and the moon shone brightly through the kitchen window. Nobby looked across at the back door and the moonbeam falling at the dog flap.

He got out of his basket by the fire and crept across the shiny kitchen floor towards the door. He paused, wagged his tail with excitement then leapt through his dog flap ...

Each book has approximately 40 pages and 25 colourful illustrations. The content is very light hearted and makes for a perfect bedtime story.

Bedtime Stories

Telling your child a story at bedtime is a tradition which many parents have followed for centuries. Medical research has shown that there are many benefits of this tradition to both you and your child. By regularly reading bedtime stories to your child you are teaching them valuable listening skills, helping their brains become more creative and establishing a lifetime relationship with reading. The evening ritual can lower stress levels in both you and your child and allows lines of communication to open between you, making it easier for your child to talk about other topics.
