BABIES love books -- and the All Aboard series is ideal for the "first time reader".

The board books are just right for small hands, with lots to spot and talk about.

They are made by Peter Curry and feature the naughty crocodile, the friendly pig, the cheeky mice, the helpful penguins and the racy tiger.

There are four books, priced £2.99 each, published by Collins Children's Books.

Titles include Ships and Boats, Trains and Planes, Cars and Vans and Trucks and Diggers.
