One of our Books of the Year 2014 A soft cloth book with bright, colourful pictures that can make snuggle-time extra special.
This is a much-loved classic but as relevant today as it was when first published in 1969! The vivid and colourful illustrations and cut back and die-cut pages, together with some very simple text, provide a wonderful story that is immensely satisfying for parents and children alike. It’s a book that’s more threadbare than most in the nursery in my house.
This delightfully soft cloth book with bright, colourful pictures featuring Eric Carle's best-loved creation is sure to make babies smile. Perfect for making snuggle-time extra special.
