Birthday Girl, who are twin brother and sister. Lift the flap,
and under the bold picture of each person is a more detailed
scene showing what everyone is doing to prepare for the twins’
first birthday.Dad of a nine-month-old comments:

use it right up to my daughter’s next birthday at

Playing, by Atsuko Morozumi
Here’s a gentle story presented in a shaped board book, with fold-out
flaps, that cleverly reflects a young child’s world.Each play item, such as a pile of bricks or a cardboard box, is shown on one page, and opposite is a
young bunny playing with it. There is a tower to build from
the bricks – it falls over behind the flap, and as for box,
well it makes a great playhouse!
