Baby books: *18 months and over*-5

January 2001Baby books: *18 months and over*

THIS MONTH’S FAVE RAVE:
Moo Moo has a Party, by Jo Lodge
This
in-your-face big, colourful pop-up book has extra-large arrows
to show children where to pull and push to make the cow lick
the envelopes for her party invitations, and help to pull the
wrapping paper off the presents.When it comes to a game of
hide-and-seek, you won’t be able to resist smiling when Moo
Moo pretends to cover her eyes – the arrowed pull-tab lifts
one of her arms so that she can cheat and peep.Dad of a two-year-old comments: “We bought this as a
birthday present, and it went down really well. It makes a big
impact when you open it, and it’s really sturdy.”

Published by Red Fox, £7.99

HONOURABLE MENTION:
The Time it took Tom, by Nick Sharratt and Stephen Tucker

This is a top favourite with lots of children over two, as it deals
with the outrageous act of a young boy – the painting of the
entire living
room in bright red gloss paint while Mum is busy in the garden – in a
realistic, humorous, and non-crushing way. It also has lots of amusing
detail that you can come back to later.Published by Scholastic, £5.99
