With the huge success of Paula McBride's picture ebook Hairy, Scary Spider?', the author has written and illustrated another rhyming and fun story for toddlers, in this 'creepie crawlies' series.

With many parents, toddler groups and schools for the very young using their PC's as teaching aids, picture ebooks are becoming more and more popular with class rooms and homes around the world.

'Slippy the Slimy Slug!' has colourful, fun illustrations that appeal to the very young and keep their attention.

Because Slippy the Slimy Slug is written in an easy, effortless ryhme, it has that musical flow that helps children learn basic reading skills.

"Rhyming stories and books with repeated patterned sounds are particularly good strategies to use to help our young ones to learn to love reading," says the author, Paula McBride, "I love to add strong pattern and rhythmic flow to help children enjoy the experience and want to read more. Add to that, the character being a spider or a slug brings in the fun - children adore the thrill of being, or make believing, that  they're a tiny bit scared! "

'Slippy the Slimy Slug!' and 'Hairy, Scary Spider?' are both available as ebooks from Amazon.
