Look inside :- things that go

Although aimed at ages 5+, this book is one of my 3 year olds favourites. Like most boys, he is obsessed with vehicles and this book covers everything from cruise ships to racing cars.

The book is filled with fun facts such as 'some jumbo jets weigh more than 100 elephants and carry over 500 passengers' which I am sure would captivate older children.

We don't read this book, we share it. There are 60 flaps to lift up and we love guessing what is going to be under each one. 

There are many, many ways to share this book. We use it to count the number of trucks on a page, we use it to search for the shark next to the cruise ship and to talk about why we need fire engines (amongst other things). It also encourages Jack to ask questions - after looking inside part of the plane he was curious what an engine did (I did my best to explain!)

Jack also loves looking at this book by himself and it is the perfect size to pop in your handbag and take out and about with you.

Because there is always something new to look at, so many different flaps to lift and hundreds of fun facts on every page, I can't ever imagine Jack getting bored of this book and once he learns to read I'm sure it will still remain a firm favourite as he uses the book in a different way. The book is hardback so built to last and priced at just £9.99 is an absolute bargain!
