Review quote

This bright, colourful book is so interactive and has lots of things for little ones to look at and do. As they push and pull different parts of the scene, they reveal different features which help to encourage discussion and learning.

Our testers liked that the book was high quality and very sturdy, even for enthusiastic little hands! As children interact with and discuss the scenes in the book, they develop their observation skills, learn basic words and learn more about the world around them. We also like that there are further learning opportunities for the slightly older children as speech bubbles contain questions such as “can you see a nest?” and “how many ducklings are there?”.
