I'm Thinking of a Jungle Animal
Publisher: Nosy Crow
Guess the jungle animal in this fun "peekaboo"-style board book for young ones, full of fantastically vibrant illustration by Lucia Gaggiotti.
Part of a whole series of "I'm Thinking of an Animal" books, which will help build up vocabulary, this one will have children identifying striking, stripey tigers and lovable, distinctive pandas – and a few more, too.
What makes this book wonderfully interactive isn't just the sliders to pull but the helpful, rhyming text from Adam and Charlotte Guillain, which provides thought-provoking clues about each hiding animal. Which animal's "long grey trunk makes a trumpeting sound"? Older toddlers will be yelling "elephant" with delight and pulling the slider before you can even finish the sentence...
Lively and fun reading for all.
