Customer Reviews

SPOT Goes to the Park, lift-the-flap book
from Eric Hill.

This review is for the PUFFIN paperback, lift-the-flap version/1991.

22 thick, shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format.
Large bold, easy-to-follow text and 9 sturdy flaps ensure successful lifting/replacing, time and time again.
Colourfully illustrated throughout.

In this story, Spot is going to the park, with Mum (Sally) and his friend Helen, as it is such a nice day. He takes his ball and manages to fluster a few pigeons, get it lost behind a newspaper, then uses in a game of `piggy-in-the-middle', when Tom appears to make a trio.
The ball finally ends up going a little astray but is kindly returned, so all is well that ends well!

Delightful book, further enhanced by the endearing expressions and the occasional `helpful' comment from the characters hidden behind the flaps!

From the back cover:-

'SPOT is one of the essential experiences of childhood' - Parent Magazine.'

One of the best series of books for early readers!

As good as always
My son - who's almost 2 - loves Spot. He already has 'Where's Spot?' and 'Spot Goes To The Beach'. This book is as good as the ones I just mentioned. In it, Spot goes to the park and plays with his friends, which usually involves throwing a football about. The ball ends up in a pond but is returned by a friendly duck. The book has flaps - the football usually ends up behind them - which my son loves. Incidentally, the flaps in the Spot book are generally sturdy; my copy of 'Spot Goes To The Beach' is four or five years old (it was my daughter's originally) and is still in one piece. As I say, this is a good book from a good series.
