Lavis has taken the simple device of a mix and match book of farmyard animals which will be loved by babies through to Reception. Children flip one part of a flap and then using the picture clues initially, can 'read' the animal noises along the three-part spread. It was great for helping children grasp concepts of print, when the illustration was covered and only the print gave the clue! The only quibble is the use of capitals in this context but that in itself can be a teaching point. The book is quite expensive but worth every penny; it is robust and will give good service in a wide variety of Ways for a long time.
