About this book
Meet butterflies, bees, ladybirds and dragonflies in this interactive, early learner fact book. With a raised trail to follow, readers can trace their finger across the page, a little like the insect themselves might move – down, up, over and around. Each page includes some simple first facts to discover and photographs of the featured creature, combined with bright illustrations.
This fun book offers lots of interaction, from the trails (which are great for fine motor skills and getting used to tracing, a precursor to learning to write) to the information about the natural world. There are different colours and different things to spot, and including a different shapes to discover on each page. A good book for dipping in and out of, or sitting to read and talk about together.

Books to develop fine motor skills
Babies and toddlers love using their hands and books are excellent tools for encouraging their fine motor skills. This selection of sturdy board books includes lots of flaps to lift, trails to follow with a finger and sliders to push and pull. Children love the fun of making things happen, and they don't necessarily need special features. Turning the page of any book brings a change of picture and demands excellent hand-eye coordination and pincer grip (or grasp).
