Synopsis

An eye-catching nature novelty series for babies that love spotting wildlife!

Even babies can be wildlife explorers! In fact, babies love noticing all kinds of animals out and about and this fantastic new board book builds on that enjoyment with easy-to-lift card flaps and a stimulating question-and-answer text. Where do cows live? What colour are hen eggs? What are baby sheep called? Little ones will love joining in with the answers, while recognising five different farm animals and lifting the flaps to find more hiding in the scenes.

Featuring playful artwork packed with personality and tactile embossed covers, this series of My Very First Spotter's Guides from the National Trust is perfect for little nature lovers. Includes a free Nosy Crow Stories Aloud (R) audiobook! Scan the code, hear the story.

Also available: I Spot a Duck, I Spot a Snail, I Spot a Rabbit and I Spot a Fish

Sue

I Spot a Cow is perfect for developing children's familiarity with a range of farmyard animals. The simple text states which animal is on that page and then poses some questions to engage little ones and stimulate their curiosity. Each question is on a flap to lift which gives the answer, perfect for joining in with. There is the added attraction of being able to spot the worm on each page!

Esme and I enjoyed cuddling up and sharing this story. She quickly realised that she could pull on the flaps and enjoyed doing this. Fortunately, the book is sturdily constructed and so survived her enthusiasm! I had great fun making the animal noises and she giggled along, humouring me. Now a speedy and confident crawler, she made her way to the book later on and sat quite happily, turning the pages for herself.
