About the Author
Eric Hill was born in London in 1927. He left school at 15 to work in a shipping office in the city. At 16 he joined an art studio as a messenger where he was encouraged to draw cartoons in his spare time. In 1976 Eric's son Christopher was born and when he was 2 years old Eric made up a story about a small puppy to read to him at bedtime. In 1980 'Where's Spot?' was published and the rest is history.

Bought this book for my 14 month old son. He loves the spot books, especially the "lift the flap" style. The pages are strong, and the flaps are easy to open for little hands. An excellent book, definitely recommended.

Format:Paperback
This book contains 10 double pages with flaps on each of the first nine right-hand pages. The flaps are pretty pointless in this book, included presumably because this is part of a similar series. In another Spot book I have read, Spot was actually on a quest to find something so it made sense to be looking behind or under flaps, but not here. In this book the flaps are just a nuisance and they are very prone to being torn, creased or ripped off altogether by a toddler.
The artwork is pleasant, but there is no continuity in the storyline. Each double page is almost stand-alone, not following on from what went before.
In terms of content, this is an old-style book which cannot hold its own in the modern marketplace with so much better product available.
In short, a disappointment.

Nice book, similar to the rest of the 'Spot' series. Some of the lift the flaps are smaller in this book than my little ones were used to from the other Spot books but still nice.

good book, as all the spot books are. My daughter really enjoys them and this helped particularly because she was just starting in daycare and I think it helped her get used to it.

Format:Paperback
from Eric Hill.
This review is for the PUFFIN paperback, lift-the-flap version/1987.
22 thick, shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format.
Large and bold easy-to-follow text, along with some smaller speech bubbles.
9 sturdy flaps ensure successful lifting/replacing, time and time again.
(First and last double-page spreads are flap-free.)
In this story, Spot goes to school for the very first time proudly carrying his own lunchbox, with his Mum (Sally).
He meets his teacher, 'Miss Bear', and his friends.
He has a busy day looking in the Wendy House, making a word from the letter bricks, and reveals what he has brought for the 'Show and Tell' table, although he is a little apprehensive about singing! He plays in the playground, 'listens' to a story and investigates the contents of the blue box.
All too soon it is time to go home and he bounds out (covered in paint), to meet his Mum, with his first painting!
From the back cover:-

I bought this lift the flap book on the understanding that it was in 'good condition' but it was missing every flap. Disappointed.

I love Spot and this is another great Spot book. Ideal for young children. Flaps are very nice for them to open.
