Ring a Ring of Roses (A Flip-flap Book)

These two great titles for small children combine well-known, traditional nursery rhymes with fun, colourful pictures and an exciting interactive element. Children can sing along with their favourite nursery songs and flip the flaps for some fun surprises. In Old MacDonald Had a Farm, the animal sounds are printed on top of each flap page so that young children can guess which animal is hidden underneath. In Ring a Ring of Roses, children can read eight best-loved nursery rhymes, including Ring-a-Ring of Roses, Georgie Porgie, Little Boy Blue and Little Miss Muffet, and flip the flaps to discover the last line of each one. These appealingly illustrated, interactive books are ideal for sharing, and young children will love joining in with the rhymes and guessing what's behind the intriguing flaps.
