  • Lovely book and story

    This is a lovely lovely story, it’s repetitive-think the hungry caterpillar- excellent for babies and older children as there’s a lot to speak about in every picture, my children loved it so did the kitchen ds in the nursery where I work. Now buying for grandchildren.
