Customer Reviews

Counting fun!
My little boy is just over 18 months and this is one of his favourites - he loves the butterflies and looking for the snail, in particular! We've also now got him saying "uh-oh" when we get to the fox dropping the tomatoes - very funny! He also love the Hippo in the Hat which is great for learning about animals and clothes.

Excellent
This book is an idea present and has been really enjoyed by my 2 year old.
