Parents looking for imaginative ways to encourage reading this summer can now bring Storytime to life with two exciting new interactive books from bestselling children's author Kes Gray.
Designed to inspire creativity, role play and a love of books, Builder Me! and Superhero Me! from Paper Engine Publishing transform children from readers into the stars of their own adventures.
Perfect for children aged 3-7, both titles combine playful rhyming stories with interactive elements that encourage children to join in, dress up and use their imagination long after the final page has been turned.
In Builder Me!, little readers can pull on their very own wearable builder's hat before joining a busy construction crew to help build something spectacular. Along the way they'll discover interactive surprises, lift-the-flaps and an exciting pop-up finale that rewards their hard work while encouraging imaginative play and storytelling.
Meanwhile, Superhero Me! invites children to wear their own superhero mask and leap into an action-packed adventure where they're the hero saving the day. Packed with colourful illustrations, lively rhyming text, interactive flaps and a dramatic pop-up ending, the book encourages confidence, creativity and pretend play, making reading an experience rather than simply a story.
Created by one of the UK's best-loved children's authors, Kes Gray, whose books have sold more than three million copies worldwide, and beautifully illustrated by Jorge Martin, the new titles have been designed to make reading an active experience that children will want to enjoy again and again.
With many parents searching for activities that reduce screen time while supporting early literacy, the Imagine Me! series offers the perfect blend of reading, role play and imagination. By encouraging children to physically become part of the story, the books help develop confidence, communication skills and creative thinking, while making shared storytime even more memorable.
Ideal for bedtime, rainy afternoons, school holidays or gifting, Builder Me! and Superhero Me! are books that continue to entertain long after the final page has been turned, inspiring children to invent their own adventures through imaginative play.
Builder Me! and Superhero Me! are available now from Paper Engine Publishing, priced at £12.99 each.
