This large format board book starts off with the well-known words on the first spread but succeeding spreads add some new verses to this favourite nursery rhyme. The vintage teddy bears photographed in this book are not ready to go to sleep and their father tells them what other teddies are up to by the light of the stars. The last spread repeats the traditional rhyme but shows teddy bears in space suits bouncing around on the moon. An added extra is the little speaker set into the book which plays the tune (quite loudly) when pressed.
This book is a great way to introduce or extend the nursery rhyme and there are plenty of interesting things to talk about in the pictures.… (altro)
