The Usborne Farmyard Tales Poppy and Sam 20 Books Collection is a beloved introduction to reading for the very youngest storytellers. Set on Apple Tree Farm, each short paperback follows preschoolers Poppy and Sam exploring farm life with family, animals and friends. With gentle text and warm illustrations, this complete set makes a wonderful gift for toddlers, and has been a firm favourite on British bookshelves for decades.. About the Books. Farmyard Tales follows Poppy, about four, and her younger brother Sam, roughly two, as they grow up on Apple Tree Farm surrounded by animals, seasons and everyday adventures. Across the twenty titles, readers join the pair as they chase a runaway tractor, rescue a stuck pig, calm a naughty sheep, and deal with a barn fire. Quieter stories such as Camping Out and The Snow Storm sit alongside lively favourites like Woolly Stops the Train and The Old Steam Train, giving a mix of gentle drama and reassuring farmyard routine. Each story is written for reading aloud with an adult, using simple, repetitive language that supports early vocabulary, while Stephen Cartwright's detailed illustrations invite children to spot familiar characters on every page. The farmyard setting introduces animals, seasons and family relationships in a safe way, making the books ideal for bedtime reading and as a first step towards independent reading. Because the stories can be read in any order, the collection offers flexible, bite-sized reading sessions that suit short attention spans, while building a much-loved world children want to return to..

Charming, detailed illustrations that support vocabulary and observation skills. Perfect first gift set for birthdays, Christmas or new readers.
