Review Quotes

This is a wonderful board book, perfect to introduce young readers to seven well-known fairy stories. Each double page contains a different story, from 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' to 'The Three Little Pigs'. Each narrative is told through the style of an interactive comic strip, with the main elements broken down into clear sections.
The exciting, lift-the-flap component enables children to physically engage with each story, to uncover a funny or mystery element of the narrative. Clear and colourful illustrations complement a simple yet effective text, ensuring the main elements of the narratives are included in accessible ways.
The characters are made relatable through animal illustrations, with the darker elements of the stories shown in gentle and unthreatening ways. This book is a wonderful resource to support language acquisition, and the lip-the-flap element supports fine motor skills. The structure would also support an understanding of how a story is told.
