Additional reading for 5 year old....buying from the Book People?

[VanillaPumpkin]

I get a number of books from the library for dd1 to have a look through as she is enjoying learning to read (atm ), but wanted to buy her some new ones for her to keep.
Book People have the ORT Read at Home series, Ready steady read (with stickers), reading together collection and Zigzag, Twisters, I am reading collection, Magic Key collection etc etc
Has anyone any experience? I like the ORT ones as she will recognise the characters and they are different to the ones at school but should I broaden her range a bit? Any recommendations?

there are some good deals on a the moment - Animal Ark (I think?) for a fiver - they are pretty good. Not keen on schemes that schools use tbh - nice to have something different

I got the Usbourne phonics collection from the Book People. They are lovely simple stories which my 5 and 3 yo love, but they rhyme, so they are too easy to learn off by heart. This defeats the aim of reading!

Usborne books have the one line your child can read, and then more complex text at the bottom of the page for you to read. They do farmyard tales and classic tales (Rapunzel etc). The boys are very fond of those as well. Our library has them so maybe you could test them before buying?

Red Nose Readers - great fun, very funny, brilliant pictures. Probably won't stretch her too much but she will love to read them.

Ooh the Red nose readers look good. Will look at Animal Ark too thank you. I am not really aiming to stretch, just add variety and a bit of enjoyment. Plus want her to have her first 'reading' books for her as a little treat.
Fridays - We have a couple of the phonics and they are fun. We also have the Farmyard tales and fairy tales usborne ones. (I used to do Usborne lol). I have to say they are excellent and we love reading those together. DD likes the fact it is not all her making the effort and dd2 likes being read to, perfect.

Went for Red Nose readers as they worked out at 50p each . Thank you.
Interested in other comments though as I am sure I will have another order going in at some point ...

I cant find the red nose readers, can you point me in the right direction please.

They have disappeared from the Book People but you can still order them from School Link

Thank you, they sounded fun and something different to what we already have.
