This is a beautiful and durable book. It is a wonderful interactive, hands-on book that will surely delight your pre-schooler! The author and illustrator have outdone themselves with excellent illustrations that move, can be pulled, lifted, opened up, swirled and actually touched to make an enjoyable reading "experience" for your children.
The text is expounded in simple rhymes which you know is a hit with kids of all ages! Your child will be excited to discover all the surprises that are woven into the book. There is actually a truck that delivers tar and your child can touch and feel how sticky tar can really be. Pure genius!
The illustrations are playful, colourful and reminiscent of Richard Scarry's work. The text and the illustrations make a perfect marriage. The book is gender friendly and I know your kids will go back again and again for a re-read.
