Spot's Walk in the Woods

Spot is always popular and this lift-the-flap book, as one would expect, was generally enjoyed. However, both infants and staff concluded that it was done the wrong way round! The youngest children got some value in calling out the names of the pictures on the flaps and following the text, but that could have been accomplished by having pictures within the text. Looking at the words beneath the picture happened occasionally but tended to be ignored in the rush to get to the end of the tale. The older infants pointed out that the text is at a level of difficulty which challenges an early reader and if the keywords had been printed on the flap, and the picture clues hidden beneath (as a check-up) then it would have helped them along ... and a lot more fun would have been had by all. Worth thinking about, Picture Puffin?
