How to choose
Read the one-year and two-year guides if you need that boundary in plain language. They talk about play and then say the story starts at 3. They also say there is no board story. The three-year, four-year, five-year, and six-year guides are inside the range, and each one shows a different part of the garden hunt.
The five-year guide includes the five candles, because that story is about turning five. The six-year guide avoids that candle spread and talks about reading some words with an adult. Neither guide is a chapter story or a phonics set.
The first-birthday guide is easy to misread. Its headline sounds like age 1, and its pages show a fifth birthday. Check both before you order. The baby guide shows the newborn artwork. It starts the same birthday story, which begins at age 3. You give your child's real age when you make the story.
Christmas and sibling guides show other books. A four-year-old guide links across to the main Christmas guide because December shopping overlaps. That link does not merge the guides.
Format, price, and timing
Birthday timing is the party's date minus production and transit, and those intervals live on Pricing. The cards here are the book totals only. None of the age guides publish a Christmas cutoff.

Questions
Which ages is the story for?
The birthday story is for ages 3 to 7. Guides for 1 and 2 explain that those ages are younger than the story allows. The age printed by each cover belongs to the example, not to your story.
Is the baby guide a board book?
No. The newborn pages are a picture book of a homecoming. Printed options are softcover and hardcover.
Why do so many guides show the same birthday pages?
One birthday story backs the age guides and the first-birthday guide. Each guide chooses its own three spreads and its own intent. A new book per age is not how this set is built.
