Busy Books: Busy Storytime [Board book] Jean Claude

It’s storytime! At nursery, at home, on holiday or at bedtime, anytime, anywhere is a good time for a story. And what’s better than a story? Perhaps a story that comes to life as you push, pull, turn and slide the sturdy tabs.

With gentle, rhyming text and colourful illustrations that reflect a diverse, inclusive community, youngsters are guided to choose a story, use their imagination to bring it to life, act it out and then share it with their friends.

Ideal for toddlers and pre-schoolers, the tabs in this deceptively simple board book are perfect for little fingers and will help develop and improve fine motor skills. And with things to find and everyday scenarios to talk about on each page, this is a great way to kick start a love of books and storytelling.

A first novelty board book about storytime with push, pull and turning mechanisms.

Busy Storytime is the perfect introduction to the joy of reading for little ones! Push, pull and slide the tabs as you pick a book to read, act it out and sail away on an adventure, then share the story with your friends.

Young children will love playing with this bright and colourful board book with gentle rhyming text and wonderful illustrations by Jean Claude. A perfect gift to celebrate World Book Day!
