Spot Goes to the Farm

About this book

Spot's dad has some baby animals to show him, but Spot wants to find them himself. He searches in the barn, in the stable, in the pond - everywhere! - and finds many different farm animals. And then he finds not one set of babies but two! Join in by lifting the flaps to spot the animals along with Spot.

This is a refreshed edition of a classic search-and-find book, in a chunky board book format. It has rounded edges and sturdy cardboard flaps, and should withstand repeated reading. As with all Spot stories, the text is displayed in a large font, and it's short and uncomplicated, using questions and exclamations to keep the child engaged. Each 'traditional farm animal' is revealed under the flaps, along with the noise they make, so there's lots to talk about. Plus, Spot finds some baby animals that his dad didn't know about, showing that grown ups don't always know everything - a delicious message for the child! 

Spot is rightly beloved as a curious, energetic child-like character and this story would be ideal to share with a baby, a toddler and a pre-schooler.
