"I must applaud all of the authors and illustrators involved in these books for their brilliant and perfectly pitched work here…Maverick have really pulled out all the stops with their very own collection. I’m hugely impressed with the high quality of their younger readers."

"If you are looking for a breath of fresh air to top up your existing reading scheme, we recommend you give these a try!"

"Easy to use and with vibrant, fun illustration – the trademark of Maverick, this new selection of banded titles will be certain to appeal to both home and school users."

"Engaging little books that are well designed, saturated with colour and action packed pictures."

"Maverick Early Readers are a stylish and appealing option for schools looking to expand their range of material for new readers."

“The high quality storytelling coupled with the excellent illustrations in these books makes them really appealing – a great incentive to encourage children to persevere with their reading.”

“ I have to say we’ve really struggled to find books for our little girl to read independently. Even well-known ones such as Biff, Chip and Kipper don’t seem to start at the real basic level and don’t offer the repetition of words throughout the book you need to learn. Yours are simple with lovely uncomplicated graphics to help children decipher a word they may be unfamiliar with.We found them at our library but they only had a handful…she had flown through 3 from Pink, 2 from Red and just finished Sheep On The Run from Yellow.”
