Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
"Each Peach Pear Plum. I spy Tom Thumb!" In this engaging, interactive book for the very young, familiar nursery-rhyme characters such as Mother Hubbard and Baby Bunting sneak their way into the gentle drawings. Even young children who might not know all the fairy-tale stars can find them lurking in the cupboard, on the stairs or deep in the woods. In the happy finale, the whole cast meets up for plum pie in the sun, where the little one on your lap will gleefully find everyone. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
A board book version of this classic picture book that introduces characters from traditional stories, such as the Three Bears, Mother Hubbard and Tom Thumb, and encourages children to participate and to find the characters hidden in the pictures. The text, with its strong rhyme and rhythm, is perfect to read aloud to very young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, catchy and an instant favourite, 25 Sep 2000
This was given to our 2 year old and within days became a favourite (had to go to bed with it, take it in the car etc). The catchy words and detailed pictures which invite exploration make it a book with many layers. With so many references to other childhood rhymes and stories it ensures parents never get bored either.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous book to share, 15 Jul 2006
By A. Matthews (Wakefield, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wasn't tempted by this book but someone else bought it for my son and it has become a firm favourite.
The illustrations are gorgeous and the fact that he knew most of the characters already caught his interest straight away.
It is great to see him find the hidden characters and he can hardly wait for the end when they all appear together.
I have decided to buy this as a birthday present for every child I know!

5.0 out of 5 stars Endlessly entertaining, 7 Jan 2006
This review is from: Each Peach Pear Plum (Picture Puffins) (School & Library Binding)
This is a very colourful and easy to read book that will provide a lot of fun for parents with young children.

The Ahlberg's writing and illustrating style is probably very well known and this book matches their high standards. It has very detailed pictures and a simple rhyme scheme which will be easy for children to pick up and repeat.

The plot of this book, such as it is, revolves around a character from a nursery rhyme or well known tale hiding in each picture. Children can see the main character mentioned in the rhyme and also get a glimpse of the character from the next page. It's I-spy basically.

My 2 year old daughter likes it and has fun spotting the characters hiding up trees, behind bushes and everywhere else. It's a pleasant, gentle book that should appeal to everyone.
