'Each peach pear plum, I spy Tom Thumb...'
This classic book from author and illustrator team Janet and Allan Ahlberg is a real favourite with families. Each beautifully illustrated page encourages them to 'spy' another familiar fairy-tale or nursery rhyme character. The excellent rhyming text and charming illustrations work perfectly together, and children will love spotting all the hidden details in each picture.
