Must be seen to be believed:

www.amazon.co.uk/Magnetic-Girls-complement-National-Literacy/dp/B000CDL860/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372585331&sr=8-1&keywords=magnetic%20girls%20words&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

Make your views known in the review section.

Astounding!

There's a boy's equivalent too - which helpfully includes 'money' (excluded from the girls version because, as you all know, we ladies marry into cash we don't actually EARN it).

Plus, and incidentally, see if you can spot the spelling mistakes in this literacy tool!

boatclub, you'll be pleased to know that Dobbies have agreed not to stock them, so tell @lettoysbetoys if you go there again and they're still there.
