A beautiful brand new cased board book version of this classic picture book by the iconic Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Each Peach Pear Plum introduces characters from well-known nursery stories, such as the Three Bears, Mother Hubbard and Tom Thumb, and encourages children to participate and to find the characters hidden in the pictures. The text, with its strong rhyme and rhythm, is perfect to read aloud to very young children, while the game of 'I Spy' keeps children enthralled. "My children loved this book and I've bought a copy for each of my grandchildren, listening to them start to read it and grow in confidence as the rhythmic words flow brings such lovely memories flooding back." - a 5-star desertcart reviewer Review: A timeless childhood favourite 🍑🍐 - I bought Each Peach Pear Plum for my 2-year-old niece, and she absolutely loved the story! It was such a lovely feeling to share a book that was one of my own childhood favourites. The rhyming story and colourful illustrations are perfect for little ones, and she really enjoyed listening to it and looking at the pictures. It’s one of those classic books that brings back so many childhood memories and is just as enjoyable for a new generation. A beautiful little book to read together, and definitely one I would recommend. A true childhood classic that I’m sure many others will remember and love too! ❤️ Review: Perfect, even for little LITTLE ones! - We purchased the board book version of Each Peach Pear Plum for my daughter when she was a few months old. We have loved reading it with her ever since. It has also been remarkable to see how much she has continued to enjoy the book, and how she gets different things from it as she progresses through different stages in her development - she is now almost two! The illustrations are beautiful - second-to-none in my opinion. The text per page is also brief, which is great for short attention spans, though it is a slightly longer book than some; when my daughter was very little we would need to read it in stages. This quickly changed. The story centres around lots of different fairy tale, fable and nursery rhyme characters, with again, lovely illustrations of each to boot. It’s a marvellous way to introduce your child to different characters and of course to introduce them to the game of eye spy - a central feature to the book. It’s a brilliantly interactive book, for all ages. In our family we would initially point out the characters, then as my daughter has got older we would ask her to point out the characters. She now finds them, names them and can name some of the things they’re holding/doing. She really enjoys doing this. There also lots of other things within each picture for your little ones to ‘spy’. You could probably ask older children some good inference questions (I.E. what do you think Robin Hood is trying to do?) The one slight downside of the board book is it’s quality; the front page isn’t cushioned, like some other board books, and when my daughter has chewed the book in inevitable teething phases, the paper has become slightly damaged - in fact she did end up with some paper in her mouth. Perhaps something to be on the look out for to try and prevent with the little people in your life. Though I personally don’t feel it’s worth missing out on a classic children’s book for this!

Toddler loves it
My 14 month old has a LOT of books, but this is by far his favourite. He brings it to us to read to him several times every day. It's very charming. A classic for a reason!

Precioso libro, pero cuidado con el tamaño!!
Compré este libro guiada por las opiniones que hay en amazon.co.uk y la verdad es que ha sido todo un acierto. La historia es una especie de "veo-veo" en la que los niños tienen que buscar en las ilustraciones personajes populares de las nursery rhymes y fairy tales que están escondidos en las mismas. La historia está escrita en verso, por lo que es muy fácil recordarla y las ilustraciones son preciosas. Mi hija todavía no sabe hablar, pero va repitiendo toda la historia en su lenguaje. En cuanto al tamaño, no cojáis el de tapa blanda, porque es diminuto y el libro pierde una gran parte de su valor. Decantaos por uno de mayor tamaño si queréis disfrutar del libro y, en particular, de las ilustraciones. Merece la pena a pesar de la diferencia de precio. Como el color es importantísimo, yo tampoco cogería la versión kindle.
