Interact With Board Books

Very young children are invited to join mother owl as she hunts for food, soaring across the starlit sky one night. She flies over tall grass that shelters a mother rabbit and her little ones, passes a log pausing briefly to peep at Fox and its cub, discovers a mother mouse and her babies snuggled together under some leaves and finally flies back to the tree where she tucks her three waiting owlets safely beneath her wing.
With its alluring die-cut cover, five differently textured, touchy feely flaps to explore, a gentle rhyming text and scenes of the natural world at night from various viewpoints by Hanna Abbo this is a lovely board book to share with the youngest humans at bedtime especially.

This is an addition to team Evans and Slack’s Don’t Ever series, this one being set down on the farm. Young children are warned against disturbing a slumbering rooster; tricking a woolly sheep, wrongly blaming a large pig for the mucky deposits it hasn’t left; getting your rear end too close to a hungry goat

and finally never ever attempt the titular conga with a cow; it’s sure to move to a different tune.
Farm animal silliness with creatures that are guaranteed to make little ones giggle and relish joining in with the RING! RINGs, YEE-HAWS, OINKs and NOM NOMs as you turn the pages making each animal in turn move. Cause alarm and you’re in for a shock.
