About this title

Review

This charming picture book is a favourite given a new twist with pull-tabs, pop-up pages and a farm play-kit.

The front section of the book is a folder containing all the pieces needed to build a cardboard farm, fences and walls, a big red barn, a pond, tractor and most importantly, plenty of cardboard animals to make the requisite number of oinks, moos, clucks and baas. The play-kit comes with picture instructions on how to build it.

The back section of the book is a counting tour of the farm, with a page for each number, from "One friendly farmer" to Ten busy bees". These pages correspond to the number of animal models included in the play kit, so that children can learn to associate numbers with amounts. The illustrations are bright and bold, with plenty of pull tabs and lift the flaps for added interest.--Rachel Ediss
