FIRST PICTURE FAIRYTALES: Usborne First Picture

This is a charming introduction to eight well-loved fairytales for little children, all beautifully illustrated by the ever-popular handmade models of Jo Litchfield. It features all the favourites: 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Cinderella', 'Hansel and Gretel', 'The Princess and the Pea', 'Rapunzel', 'Goldilocks and Jack' and 'the Beanstalk'. Children can either follow the picture strip stories while the text is read to them, or tell the story themselves as their confidence and reading ability grows. This irresistible little board book will make an ideal gift for toddlers and very young children.
