Pat & Pals www.patandpals.com is a new type of publishing company - we believe in the power of story and characters, that are as important on a computer or television screen, as they are on the printed page.

RHYME & READ www.patandpals/learn.asp is a series of five hardback books, and five corresponding eBooks for 2-6 years. Written by the acclaimed children’s authors Colin and Jacqui Hawkins, these books have been extensively used in schools and nurseries since they were first published nearly 25 years ago. Through Pat the Cat, and his pals Jen the Hen, Mig the Pig, Tog the Dog and Zug the Bug, each book introduces a new phonic sound through focusing on the short vowel sounds (a, e, i, o and u) in a rhyming consonant, vowel, consonant construction, with a unique flip the page format in the books (to see a demo click here www.patandpals.com/character_pat_inside.asp.

The books are perfect to be read aloud to children or as an early start for the young reader as they follow the hilarious rhyming antics of the loveable characters whilst making learning words absorbing and fun.

Our eBooks build on the play values of the hardback books by bringing the characters to life on screen in an animated spectacular with specially commissioned music and voiceovers, and allow parents to play along with their children or leave them to explore the stories themselves through a number of options. Each eBook also contains 5 specially designed games including missing letters, move and match, odd one out and even the ability to make up your own story on screen. The games are complimented by a series of printables in the eBooks, which include the ability to print out every page in the book to colour in and vowel based handwriting exercises. You can view an online demo of the eBooks, or even download a free trial here www.patandpals.com/character_pat_ebook.asp.
