Your print shelf

Take a little wonder
with you.

Choose one story, a discovery journey or the complete collection.

Choose A4 or US Letter to match your printer. Full-page stories preserve the complete 4:5 composition. Two-up cards save paper and work best when a grown-up reads alongside the child. Guides and records use little ink.

These reading PDFs preserve the illustrated 1080 × 1350 pages. They are convenient home/classroom print editions, not native 300-ppi poster artwork. Select the paper size your printer uses and check the print preview.

The complete collection

20 stories with 140 complete pages. Two-up cards keep pages complete, with a separate index and a fresh sheet for each discovery. Read the accompanying adult guide before an activity.
