One of the greatest joys I remember as a child were interactive books. And you don’t need to be a child to thoroughly enjoy them. Not only do my 8 and 10 year old children love such books, I still get a total buzz from lift-the-flaps, peek-a-book holes and pop-ups.
Child’s Play do this sort of book so well, and this adorable book is no exception. Bath
“No bath for me! I’m not stinky! Can’t catch me!” she cries as she careens through the book – and I mean literally. Little fabric/felt Beth is looped to a string that threads through the books pages, escaping through ‘loopholes’ to the next page.
As her mum chases her, dad chases her, Grandpa chases her, Grandma chases her – the stinky youngster won’t escape for long. On the very last page, she slips once more through a loophole and SPLASH! You can imagine where she ends up.
