Joy for children and parents alike

My son loves his Beano comics and it’s an absolute treat for him to read them and sharing the jokes with us, and for us to see him laying on his belly, happily reading and laughing. It is worth every penny.

My Grandsons love the Beano

My Grandsons love the Beano & look forward to it arriving each week. My oldest Grandson (aged 8) reads it from cover to cover & reads the stories to his younger brother. He says that reading the Beano doesn’t feel like reading which is a wonderful recommendation!
