Advantages: Good sturdy pages and flaps. Keeps childrens concentration
Disadvantages: You have to put the flaps and Pop Ups back to avoid damage
I am going to tell you about this book as it is one of the most read books we have ever come across yet we do not own it.
My children borrow this from our local library and the nursery library on a regular basis as it is a firm favourite.
The edition that the nursery have is a paper back but the library version is a hard back and is in much better condition.
Both seem to very sturdy pages and really strong resiliant flaps but you have to make sure you turn the flaps back the correct way before closing the page or it gets damaged.
Each page is filled with beautiful illustrations and full of colour yet not at all confusing.
It is a great introduction to the Apple Tree Farm story book collection as it introduces the characters in avery simple way. The animal picture are very easy to recognise and each page has a different textured part to touch and help children discover the their senses.
The story does have a very basic plot of trying to find the lost animals which many young childrens book lack.
This is a great book that my children have loves since around 8 months old. I would say that it is really aimed at toddlers.
Summary: A perfect book for introducing children to storytime.

- 08/06/09 Sorry for the rate but while there is a good review of the book there is next to nothing on the actual story inside it |

- 04/06/09 Apologies for rating against the grain, but I have see a lot of good detail about how the book is made and its durability, but only brief details about what is in it... I was left wondering what age range it is for (eight months is mentioned, but you refer to children in the plural), and what the story is about - you mention the plot, but you haven't summarised it. In summary, I can't tell on the basis of the review whether it would be suitable for my daughter. 8^) |
