Pirate Pete and Princess Polly are two of Ladybird's best-loved characters, who have the same experiences as every young child. Now, these young friends are back in a brand new sound book to help show preschool children the benefits of having good manners and being polite and kind.

Pirate Pete and Princess Polly: Please and Thank You is a sturdy board book that covers common situations at nursery and at home where children may need to say 'please', 'thank you' and 'excuse me'. It also shows key everyday manners such as chewing with your mouth closed, helping others and washing hands before eating.

Children will enjoy cheering Pete and Polly's good behaviour on every page by pressing the exciting cheer sound button. This also acts as motivation for children to show off their own good manners. Saying please and thank you has never been so fun!


Pirate Pete: I'm Starting Nursery is a new interactive story starring the famous Pirate Pete, part of Ladybird's best-selling Pirate Pete and Princess Polly series.

Starting nursery is an exciting and anxious time for children and parents alike and this reassuring sound book is a fun way to prepare little ones for their own first day at nursery school. The simple text and colourful illustrations help children to understand what happens at nursery and reassure and motivate them about staying at nursery themselves. It covers visiting the nursery to look around, all the different activities to do there, going to the loo, having lunch and making new friends. Pressing the cheer button on every page is also a fun way to involve your child in the story!
