Description
A sturdy new edition of a classic novelty board book for babies and toddlers.
Combining graphic pictures with ingeniously simple novelty devices, this book reveals that strawberries are red, oranges are orange, bananas are yellow and so on. Each page has more cut off it than the one before, so that the layered images finally form a delicious-looking fruit salad surprise!
Reviews
A luscious collection of juicy fruit colours...bright stylised artwork and shaped pages add to the tactile appeal. * Junior *
Stylish [and] colourful. * Publishing News *
