Before you begin
Which edition should I choose for my child?
Open a book and check its age edition before reading. The five bands are 0–3, 4–6, 7–12, 13–17 and 18+. A listing here does not mean every edition is ready. For a child under seven, choose an available younger adaptation and preview it together.
Can we read in Hindi or listen together?
Each book page shows its available languages, reading previews and listening options. English and Hindi are the first reading languages; audio and illustrations may still be in preparation for a particular edition.
