Titles in This Set:. The Digits: Double the Fun. The Digits: Number Jumble. The Digits: Odds Vs Evens. The Digits: The Perfect Number. Condition: New. Format: Paperback. Publisher: Oxford University Press. Age Range: Ages 3-7. Overview:. The Digits is a lively four-book paperback set from Oxford University Press, written by children’s author Tony Bradman. Pitched at readers aged 3 to 7, each story follows friendly number characters through everyday adventures — birthday parties, football matches, a mysterious tower and a busy theme park — while gently introducing counting, comparing and simple calculation. Bright storytelling and approachable text make the set ideal for bedtime reading, classroom numeracy corners, or a confidence-building gift.. About the Books:. Across four short, story-led adventures, The Digits bring numbers to life through everyday situations rather than dry worksheets. In one tale, a birthday celebration runs short on cake and seating, and the Digits share things out fairly — a playful route into more, less, doubling and halving. Another sees the gang exploring a strange, many-floored tower, where solving each landing means spotting number patterns and counting carefully. A third pits odd numbers against even numbers in a knockabout football match, turning odds and evens into a lively team rivalry. The final story follows a day at a theme park, where queuing for rides and sharing snacks becomes a chance to practise simple adding and taking away. Written in short chapters with plenty of dialogue, the books suit children building reading stamina, whether independently or shared with a parent or teacher. The recurring cast gives readers something familiar to return to, while each new setting keeps things fresh. Because the maths is woven into the plot rather than presented as a lesson, children absorb early number concepts almost without noticing.. Key Benefits:.
