2025 Digital December Bundle

Description

For a limited time, enjoy over 95% off this beautifully curated bundle featuring all 141 ebooks released in 2025 that the rights allow me to include. It’s the easiest (and most affordable!) way to build a rich digital library your family can return to for years.

A Few Treasures You’ll Find Inside:

This year’s collection is especially rich in nature and science. You’ll find the delightful Science at Home readers by Edith M. Patch, along with Sharp’s Seasons quartet—warm, observant nature writing that gently tunes children’s eyes and hearts to the changing year. Fans of nature stories will also love the second set of Eyes and No Eyes titles and the newly illustrated Burgess Seashore books, now refreshed with new images to bring creatures and habitats vividly to life.

There are more engaging First Book of… introductions to science and history, a wealth of compelling children’s biographies in the The Story of… series, and a fascinating Story of Industry set that traces everyday materials from source to finished product. Combined with living literature, poetry, history, geography, and hands-on science titles, this bundle offers a deep, varied digital library designed to support joyful, living learning all year long.

Every title is included as a PDF, and 125 books (every EPUB-appropriate title) are also available in EPUB format—complete with clean, consistent metadata so they slide seamlessly into your ebook organiser or reading app.

Organised for Simplicity

Each year’s collection uses the same folder layout, so your entire library—from early releases to the newest additions—slots together neatly. Extract all years into one place and your collection instantly arranges itself by category. No fuss, no confusion—just books ready to enjoy.

Don’t Miss Your Free Annual Update
