Purnell were prolific publishers of children's books and created several 'series' of books across a few children's television shows and Disney films. One such series was the 'booklet' series, comprising of small paperback books (12 x 18 cm) stapled at the spine and ranging from 16 to 32 pages.

This gallery highlights those I know about or are in my collection and are featured in other galleries on my site. The gallery below, which is intended as an aid to collectors of Purnell booklets, is in series alphabetical order. If anyone knows of any titles or series I've missed, please email me.
