This is a new title in the fantastic First Reading Series, part of the Usborne Young Reading Programme. It is aimed at children who are beginning to read. It's dinnertime for Old Mother Hubbard's dog — but the cupboard is bare! It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is Principal Lecturer in Education from Roehampton University and an early reading specialist. Every title in this series features clear and compelling text accompanied by charming and highly appealing illustrations. It is designed to motivate children as they learn to read.
