Busy Storytime

It’s storytime! At nursery, at home, on holiday or at bedtime, anytime, anywhere is a good time for a story. And what’s better than a story? Perhaps a story that comes to life as you push, pull, turn and slide the sturdy tabs.With gentle, rhyming text and colourful illustrations that reflect a diverse, inclusive community, youngsters are guided to choose a story, use their imagination to bring it to life, act it out and then share it with their friends.Ideal for toddlers and pre-schoolers, the tabs in this deceptively simple board book are perfect for little fingers and will help develop and improve fine motor skills. And with things to find and everyday scenarios to talk about on each page, this is a great way to kick start a love of books and storytelling.
