Each Peach Pear Plum
Publisher: Puffin
'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.

My son is only a few weeks old, but he already seems to love this book. I think it's the rhythm of it. I loved it as a child which is why I chose to buy it for my son.

A story to grow with... from enjoying the rhyme you can progress to spotting the character and guessing who they could be.

I loved this book as a child and my LO loves it too - not just for the rhyming but it also has so much content in the pictures. We play lots of spotting games ("can you find the cat?").

A classic book that I remember from my childhood. It's a lovely rhyming story & I look forward to my baby being able to find the characters as she gets older.

I read this book myself as a child and have been reading it to my son since he was a baby. Now he is 6 he reads it to his baby sister and helps her find the characters. It's a great book for children and is perfect for older siblings to read to their younger brothers or sisters.

I remember reading this when i was little so it was one of the first books i bought for my little boy when i was pregnant. Its a lovely interactive book for all the family for all ages. I love any book that rhymes but this is a classic. My son is 8 months and me and my husband read it and point out the characters to him. A book that will grow with him and he will then one day read to his children like i am doing now.

Part of our bedtime routine, due to the nice slow rhymes. Also, we've used it since early on to help develop focus dragging a finger to the right part of the picture. Now at 10 months, he's finding the character himself on a number of pages.

We have been reading this book to our son as soon as we started reading to him. He loves it & so do we. Now he is 14.5 months old & he carefully studies the pictures on the page and can identify the ducks. It's so lovely watching him whilst we read this book to him.

Our favourite book, not only is this Sophie's favourite, it was my favourite as a child too. Enjoy looking for the hidden characters in the beautiful illustrations from page to page. The rhymes make this book memorable and fun to read time and time again. Every child should have this book to cherish.

One of the first books I shared with my son, we spent time looking at the pictures for all the different characters, I've read it that many times now I know it by heart but he never tires of it.
