Review:
This book is lovely - a bit different from any other book out there, as the pages are made from opaque pages, with a silhouette on the right hand side of each page, so children and parents alike can guess what is on the left hand side of the page - with a repetitive line of "What can this be in the foggy foggy forest" followed by a rhyming line ("An elf by himself," "An ogre doing yoga" etc), this book will keep you guessing right to the very end.
The objects in the silhouette do get stranger and stranger as the book goes on, but that just makes it more interesting for the parents reading the book, I think! The pages, although paper, appear to be quite strong, so this is a good book for young readers to flick through by themselves - my 2.5 year old has spent a lot of time lying on the lounge floor with this book.
My rating: 4.4 out of 5
