Each book in this series has a friendly animal that leads the child through a fascinating world of landscapes and nature. The book is accordion-style, making it possible for it to stand on its own, with cut-outs, creating a complete and contained play environment. The mixture of illustrations and photographic images used in the book, along with the accompanying toy, helps the child connect the book to the real world. The books include eight questions and activities related to the story and six lookand-find cards to further enhance the play and learning value while reading the story. This makes reading the story a fun, engaging and interactive experience.
