Squirrel's Snowman: A Christmas lift-the-flap story from the creators of The Gruffalo: 6 (Tales From Acorn Wood, 6)

The media could not be loaded. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed this book and all of the other books in the Tales of Acorn Wood series since she was about 8 months old.The illustrations are truly lovely and they have provided great opportunities for discussing friendship, woodland animals, and in this story, snow and using teamwork to build a snowman. I would say that this book is slightly less interactive than the others - the story is very simple and there are fewer opportunities for labelling everyday objects, colours or sounds. Though the winter theming makes a lovely seasonably appropriate book.The stories are on the simpler side, but I think this is where the books stand out for their specialism for babies and younger toddlers. Many story books are a bit more advanced for this age group and many books designed for this age group seem to be centred around non-fiction (in our experience), so we really have enjoyed collecting them all - I will always treasure them as the first stories and series my daughter has been interested in. As my daughter approaches two years old, I can see her interest in the series reducing somewhat.A slight shame about this book and the other books in the series is that some of the flaps are very small, and therefore fragile. My daughter has come very close to ripping the small coal flap/fiddly coal flap, despite trying to supervise her as much as possible. Given that they are a series for the youngest kiddos, you would think the creators would plan for some rip-proofing or at least rip-reduction in their designs; sadly not.

Highly recommend the quality of these booked are just lovely great story and great illustration. My go to author . Perfect stories every time . The kids love these books

Great little Christmas presents

I really like these books - buy them for my small nieces. They are colourful, entertaining, short and rhyming with lovely illustrations and occasional ‘flaps’ for little fingers to explore. They are made of sturdy cardboard paper and are easy to clean.Got two of those for my nieces!

Lovely wee story. Kids loved it. Good quality book

Bought for 1.5 year old but don’t think she’s old enough to read just yet

Bought for a Christmas present for my niece these are cute books and got some good feedback on them

This is a lovely book. The pictures are very good and the lift-up flaps are very pleasing to little people. I’d say this book would be best suited to kids age 1-6 years. I would recommend this.
