Faces (Baby's Very First Book)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Pop up Books
from: Macmillan Children's Books

October 25, 2002
my 3 month old granddaughter was captivated by this book from the second she saw it. I was doubtful when I first saw the book 'in the flesh' that it would hold her attention for long. It is extremely short and very simplistic, but she was (and still is) mesmerized by it. She stares intently at the patterns and smiles back at the faces. The crunchy sounds she is rewarded with when trying to grab at the pictures or chew the pages are an added bonus. This looks like being a favourite for quite some time

This book is wonderful with lift up flaps and a simple story which delighted my son as a toddler. Even now we like to look at the book and lift the flaps. I would recommend this book to any toddler, its wonderful.

Where's Spot? (Lift-the-flap Book)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Pop up Books
by: Eric Hill

October 30, 2003
from Eric Hill.

This review is for the PUFFIN paperback, lift-the-flap version/1983.

22 thick, shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format.
Large, bold, easy-to-follow text on one page and a picture and a lift-the flap opportunity on the other.
9 sturdy flaps ensure successful lifting/replacing, time and time again.
Colourfully illustrated throughout.

In this story, naughty Spot is being elusive, at dinner time, and his Mum (Sally) has to go and seek him out!
The delightful story is enhanced by the various creatures hidden behind the flaps who aid the lovable Spot by responding `No!' to the question asked....until the last page, when all is revealed!

The Bedtime Bear: A Pop-up Book for Bedtime

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Pop up Books
by: Ian Whybrow

October 01, 2004
I introduced my daughter to this book a month ago when she was 9 months old, and it is by far her favourite book. She crawls over to it and lobs other books out of the way to get to it, and then happily sits turning the pages and opening and closing the flaps, she can't get enough of it no matter what time of day it is, although we also read it every night before bed as well. We've had to buy a second copy as I know she's going to tear something soon, but to date it has withstood her vigorous opening/closing/page turning! I would highly recommend it.

Maisy's Bedtime (Maisy Storybooks)

by: Lucy Cousins

August 16, 1999
We are also true fans, but the additional Maisy doll really was the icing on te cake! My son is 18 months old, and he really loves it-especially taking off the clothes, and is truly amazed and delighted to see that Maisy has a bellybutton, too!

Maisy's Wonderful Weather Book (Maisy)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Pop up Books
by: Lucy Cousins

June 05, 2006
My daughter loves Maisy and friends and would choose to have this book read to her every night. On each page there are different weather scenes with movable flaps and sections that are great for little fingers to play with (under guidance). Some of the moveable parts have now been pulled too strongly,but have been repaired! The vibrant colours are great for small children and sound effects my husband makes whilst reading this, has added to the fun my daughter has with the book.

by: Eric Carle

September 30, 1982
Bought this book for my pre-school group, the ladybird is not only bad tempered but wants to fight every creature he mets. I don't want to promote fighting or violence so this book has only been read twice.I was very disapointed because other eric carle book are Fab.

Fox's Socks (Tales from Acorn Wood)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Pop up Books
by: Julia Donaldson

July 18, 2003
We found this tale of Fox and his search for his clothes lovely and useful. The story is fun. The length of the story and content seems just the right appeal for toddlers (I have a 18m old ) to get interested in learning clothes & then 'getting dressed' too. The lengh of the book seems good for us so that it stays interesting (and usually we like to read it again!). We love 'lift the flap' books too & 'finding the clothes' in this one is fun.

Noddy Lift-the-Flap Pocket Library

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Pop up Books
by: Enid Blyton

July 03, 2006
Initially I did not like these books at all. The flaps are tiny and fragile - very easy for little people to pull off without even meaning to. I was not impressed with the way that some of the flaps only have writing underneath, for example ' one, well done'. However, my daughter loves these books and is quite obsessed. She also loves the Dr Seuss collection. Both sets are perfect for little hands (she is 1). She spends as much time putting them in and out of their box as she does reading them. A positive about the Noddy books are the bright pictures. I voted a four because they have made my daughter happy and made her love books even more.
