This lift-the-flap book with its big clear illustrations, in muted colours on recycled matte paper, is a lovely introduction to the natural world. As it says on the front cover the book answers ‘real questions that children ask about the world around them’. Why is the sun warm? Who wakes the birds up in the morning? Do fish drink? Lift the flap or pull the tab to find out. The answers given are short, scientifically accurate and in language appropriate for its 3 to 6 year oldish readers.
