The Poppy and Sam books, written by the late Stephen Cartwright, have been a family favourite for over 30 years and now children’s publisher Usborne are giving the evergreen stories in this enchanting series a bright and colourful makeover for a new generation of little ones… without losing the magic of the original titles.

The new formats are full of that special child-appeal which has made the Poppy and Sam stories so popular, and there is still the added fun of finding the hidden Little Yellow Duck on every page.
