Croc's Cooking Day

About this book

Hippo's tummy is rumbling, so Croc is making pancakes. Can you help him? Open flaps, pull the sliders and turn the wheel to pour in milk, crack the eggs and even flip the pancakes!

It would be great fun to share this delightful board book with a baby or young child. The interactive elements are immensely satisfying - the clever author-illustrator Nicola Kent has put a lot of thought into how appealing they are to use. There's a different way to get involved on every page - all of which will practise fine motor skills. The story and text are very simple, and she also uses sounds - Crack! Splosh! - to add to the fun. 

Children might be inspired to play in the home corner after reading this book, or to help make pancakes at home. This is part of a series where animals help with domestic chores or tasks, including Bear's Wash Day, Lion's Cleaning Day and Hippo's Garden Day. Fabulous.
