George the Farmer helps children discover the wonders of agriculture through fun, engaging stories and early literacy support. This I CAN READ book features decodable text, high-frequency words and repetition to build reading confidence in little learners — all while celebrating life on the farm.

In The Sheep, kids follow a woolly friend as she moves around the farm, meeting other animals, visiting the shearer, and finally getting a much-needed haircut. With simple, rhythmic text, this story introduces early readers to farming routines and the journey from paddock to product — ending with her wool being made into a warm jumper.

This is a Level 3–4 book with high-frequency words: where, is, the, here, with, after.

First released in 2026.
