Each Peach Pear Plum 40Th Anniversary Hardback

Look closely through gardens, kitchens and woodland scenes to find familiar nursery-rhyme characters hiding in the pictures. Each short rhyming clue leads into the next, creating a gentle chain of discoveries. Janet and Allan Ahlberg's classic makes the reader an active participant, offering little children the pleasure of spotting something themselves and sharing it with the person beside them.

Age suitability and learning: Baby & toddler (0-2), Preschool (3-5). Rhythm and repeated language help younger listeners join in, while primary readers can explore the words and pictures more closely. Reading aloud supports listening, sound awareness and expressive speech; following the story encourages recall and talking about what happens next.
