My littl girl adores this book. There are loasd of "lift the flaps" for her to explore and the entire content is suitable for her with animals, shapes, colours etc. The only down side is that it is a paper book rather than board so some of the flaps are getting creased, also some of the flaps are very near to the spine of the book meaning that you have to be careful to make sure the flap is fully closed before you can turn the page without creasing the flap. Even so, I still think this book is a very worhwhile book for a toddler to have.

I had such high hopes for this book (being a big fan of the Touchy-Feely series), so was really disappointed when I sat down to read it with my daughter. The pages are beautiful but the story itself is very disjointed - there's no context and it's as if only every third or fourth line of the full story was printed. And it doesn't mention God anywhere.
If you just want a pretty version of the nativity, this may be fine. But if you are looking for a version of the Christmas story for children, I'd look elsewhere.

We are also true fans, but the additional Maisy doll really was the icing on te cake! My son is 18 months old, and he really loves it-especially taking off the clothes, and is truly amazed and delighted to see that Maisy has a bellybutton, too!

The dog and duck concept might sound like a pub name, but this simple yet very well-written and beautifully rhythmic narrative featuring a Scottie dog and a duckling is a big favourite with 2-5 year olds.
Lynley Dodd's books are generally popular with the preschool class I teach: whether Scarface Claw, Slinki Malinki, or the perennial favourite Hairy Maclary... the stories are much-loved and much-requested. But this is the hands-down, runaway favourite.
The story is - for a Lynley Dodd - on the easy side. Children love the rhyme scheme accompanying Hairy Maclary's elements of the narrative and particularly enjoy the routine loud/simple interruptions to the rhyme provided by Zachary Quack's entrances into the narrative. ... Read More:

I had a very special and close friend read a piece from this book at my wedding blessing on saturday 4th aug 07, everyone who heard it said how wonderful it was and as a consecquence i am ordering more copies today for friends and .....the vicar who loved the meanings contained within it. In today's fickle world this book is a must for revisiting your childhood and the true meaning of love and care.

My toddler Charlie enjoyed this pocket book set so much from the age of 18 months until 2 years and a half. He first loved to take the books out and back in the book case and he then really liked to lift all the little flap windows and see what was behind. At one point he got so attached to his little Noddy's book case that we had to travel with it, which again it is brilliant as it takes very little space in the luggage. My son learnt a lot about colours and shapes and learnt many new words with this gift and I highly recommend it.

Meet Spot and his father, Sam, as they go to the farm to look for baby animals. You can learn some names of baby farm animals like, Lambs, which are baby sheep, Foals, which are baby horses and Calves, which are baby cows. But none of those little animals are at the farm: only their parents are - which baby animals are there? Find out in this great book...
Eric Hill, the author of this book, has become very well known for his `Spot' series which were started in the early 1980's. Spot is also known as `the World's Favourite Puppy' as he is an all time favourite Pre School character and probably will forever be.
I would rate this book 7/10 although it is not very suitable for me but more appropriate for children aged 3 - 7. It has flaps ... Read More:

A great book, more worthwhile than many thanks to its amusingly negative protagonist (the ladybird) and universal lesson about the importance of sharing.

I still think that the Alice in Wonderland book is the benchmark for current stock of pop-up books, but this is easily in my #2 spot.
I'm not quite as enamoured of the art used here on WoZ as I was with AiW, but the quality and design is up close to the top. Very tempting to add the final star as current price £9.99 represents very good value.
