Jigsaw Farm

This novelty item consists of four diecut board books which join up to make a jigsaw. Each features a different farmyard animal (hen, horse, cow and pig) with a simple descriptive text giving some information about it. The illustrations tend to the jolly rather than to accurate representation. The text is pitched at children of about two. My one-year-old found the jigsaw tabs good for turning the pages with and - inevitably - for chewing; they also bent rather easily when being unlinked, so do not expect a long life for these titles. Inoffensive on the whole - the jigsaw element seems a rather pointless embellishment.
