There's nothing wrong with this flaps 'n' felt book, it just didn't have much to offer at this point, even with its attempt at a shock interactive ending. She was more excited to re-read Dear Zoo, which she has at home and has read several zillion times.

I was disappointed at the slightness of her mini Mr. Men, but knew what we were in for this time: another of those boxsets she loves to tip out, read aloud herself through memorisation, then assemble into the tableau naming all the familiar and non-appearing characters. I am looking forward to becoming more intimately familiar with them than any of my own favourite things.

It gets a point for the spelling, and it's nice to see some representation for hamsters, but it's a bit bizarre that a book featuring only five animals could only come up with identifiable sounds for three of them. She seemed to find the interactivity beneath her, but enjoyed the mechanical process of lifting flaps, as ever.

Another unseasonal beach book, combining textures and near-page-size flaps with minor puzzles. She unnecessarily tidied each flap before continuing, even though they turn like pages anyway, which was pleasing. Drop litter around her at your peril.
