Book Review

my favourite bit is the big pop out spider at the end!

Dylan:
I like all the bright colours in this book and enjoy touching the pages with the animals on, especially the sea horse. But my favourite bit is the big pop out spider at the end! I like their big eyes and the way their legs move up and down.

Mum and Dad:
Dylan has enjoyed reading this book with us a few times now. He’s drawn to the colourful cover so often picks it out to read and look at. It is good for learning some of the parts of animals although Dylan is a bit young to pick up on some of the more subtle ones. It’s fairly long as these type of books go, so his attention does wane sometimes. He’s always drawn back in by the pop-up surprise at the end though!

hey’re very long and very black… will you run away and not come back?
