When we think of the Best Choose-your-own-adventure Books for Kids, we usually are talking about books for older, independent readers. This is one of the only picture book series where young readers choose between three completely different worlds per title – firing their imaginations and promoting agency.
Each book is written by Sarah Coyle with illustrations throughout by Adam Walker-Parker. The books do not have to be read in series order, and children have full agency when it comes to decided what path their main character gets to take, whether that's being a superhero, meeting mermaids, braving dinosaurs or riding unicorns!
The books are great value for money, considering you can re-read each book in so many different ways with your little one. Plus, they're packed with activities! Each page includes an activity, such as search-and-find, odd-one-out, mazes and more, woven seamlessly into the narrative – perfect for immersing and engaging young readers.
