“柯林斯大猫系列”将以独特的多重感官初级阅读教程培养孩子持久的阅读兴趣。本系列图书渗透了各种阅读技巧训练，同时鼓励孩子多思考，以此培养孩子准确、流利阅读的能力，同时将外国儿童教育的先进思维方式合理的运用在阅读学习中，使孩子在享受阅读的乐趣的同时，轻松完成英语学习。
研究发现4-5岁儿童，是接受各种事物的最佳时期，形象知觉发展最敏感，机械记忆能力也较强，抽象、逻辑思维能力开始发展，好奇心、求知欲望较强烈，肌肉的灵活性及用眼的协调性增强。他们需要通过感觉、知觉以及各种活动来探索世界，建立对周围环境的认识和概念，“柯林斯大猫系列”针对这一特点，设计了粉色和红色两套图书，每套图书又分A和B两个分支，A砸实基础，B稳步提高，由浅入深，完成对孩子注意力、观察力、记忆力和思维力的全面培养，扎实基础，让英语学习和思维训练同时进行。
“柯林斯大猫系列”粉色套书中，以基本的单词和句子为出发点，将孩子身边常见的事物（食物、动物、形状、颜色、动作和家庭成员）作为英语学习的内容，通过了解并掌握这些单词和句子，为之后较难的学习内容扎实基础，使孩子从懵懂之时就接受英语启蒙教育，对孩子今后英语的活学活用有非常重要的意义。
红色系列图书将对粉色系列图书的学习成果进行加深和巩固。
“柯林斯大猫粉色系列” A、B两套各包括14本全彩故事书、两本父母指导手册（英汉各一本）和学习CD一张。
