With rhyming text, a colourful cast of animal characters and traditional stories, 'Tales from Acorn Wood' is a series of books that feature flaps that the very youngest of readers can lift to participate more fully in the story。
Noah loved lifting the variety of flaps in this book and squealed when he found animals behind them, that then continued the journey with Pig。

Another of the Acorn Wood books and this is my favourite of the three we have。 It’s another lift the flap to search for something book, but this time we are looking for a character- the pig in the title。 I’m not sure why this one appeals to me more but for some reason it does。 I think I really like the places where the pig hides as opposed to looking for socks in ridiculous places。 Donaldson uses repetition and rhyme to make this fun for baby and reader and the illustrations are particularly col Another of the Acorn Wood books and this is my favourite of the three we have。 It’s another lift the flap to search for something book, but this time we are looking for a character- the pig in the title。 I’m not sure why this one appeals to me more but for some reason it does。 I think I really like the places where the pig hides as opposed to looking for socks in ridiculous places。 Donaldson uses repetition and rhyme to make this fun for baby and reader and the illustrations are particularly colourful and vivid in this one to my mind。 。。。more

My favourite of the Tales from Acorn Wood。 I'm particularly enamoured by the sub-plot between Squirrel and Rabbit。 My favourite of the Tales from Acorn Wood。 I'm particularly enamoured by the sub-plot between Squirrel and Rabbit。 。。。more

A great book with lift up flaps and rhyme to engage children。 Teaches children about different animals and their distinctive features。
The Book Squirrel,
In this little story Pig and Hen play hide-and-seek。 Pig finds all the other animals (badger, dormouse, squirrel) who help look。 Toddlers will like the rhyme and lift-the-flaps。

Pig and Hen decide to play hide-and-seek。 Pig counts to 10 while Hen goes to hide。Pig looks behind a gate and lifting the flap reveals a blackbird, who accompanies Pig to look for Hen。Next Pig looks in a tent only to discover Rabbit who joins in the search。Then Pig looks behind a huge blanket on a washing line and lifting it reveals Squirrel who also joins in the search for Hen。A huge pail hides Dormouse so she joins Pig in the search。A large rose bush looks a likely hiding place but behind it i Pig and Hen decide to play hide-and-seek。 Pig counts to 10 while Hen goes to hide。Pig looks behind a gate and lifting the flap reveals a blackbird, who accompanies Pig to look for Hen。Next Pig looks in a tent only to discover Rabbit who joins in the search。Then Pig looks behind a huge blanket on a washing line and lifting it reveals Squirrel who also joins in the search for Hen。A huge pail hides Dormouse so she joins Pig in the search。A large rose bush looks a likely hiding place but behind it is Badger。 So Pig decides it is time for their picnic tea and heads for the huge hamper, which is set down on a blanket with plates and glasses all round。There is still no sign of Hen but can you guess where she is? I imagine so, as Hen and his companions approach the hamper 。。。 。。。more

Another cute story with an interesting way to learn kids to count。

Sarah Newman,
A fun book, which the smol human loves。 I am pretty sure she knows what a dormouse is years before I did。 Part of a box set that is currently on high-rotation at our place :)

My son loves this book!
Emma,
A wonderfully interactive book。 At 7 months my daughter enjoys lifting the flaps whilst we share this book together。 I’m looking forward to still being able to enjoy this book with her as her language develops when she’ll be able to guess the rhyme。

I got this book as an Easter present for my 1yr old son (F) as he likes lift-the-flap books。 However my older boy, J, is 4yrs old and it's actually turned out to be a good book for him to practise his reading with。 The simple words and short sentences are great for him。 It basically is the story of Pig playing hide and seek with her friend Hen。 Pig picks up other friends along the way during the hunt。 J read this to his little brother (who didn't pay much attention but managed to lift the flaps I got this book as an Easter present for my 1yr old son (F) as he likes lift-the-flap books。 However my older boy, J, is 4yrs old and it's actually turned out to be a good book for him to practise his reading with。 The simple words and short sentences are great for him。 It basically is the story of Pig playing hide and seek with her friend Hen。 Pig picks up other friends along the way during the hunt。 J read this to his little brother (who didn't pay much attention but managed to lift the flaps when required)。 J liked the story and liked guessing who was underneath the flap。 We have another book from the Acorn Woods series somewhere from when J was younger so I'll have to dig that out。 。。。more
Jennifer B。,
Very cute。 Only gives you a little clue as to who can be hiding under each flap, letting you be surprised when you open it。

This is lovely。 A great introduction to British woodland creatures for Flo。 Beautiful illustrations and, as always with Donaldson, a great rhyming scheme which kids love。

My enjoyment of this was hampered by not being able to lift the flaps (may or may not be reading stock room kids books) but they were fairly obvious so it matters not。 More for littler little ones, but still great rhymes。 Some adult writers can't even write this well。 My enjoyment of this was hampered by not being able to lift the flaps (may or may not be reading stock room kids books) but they were fairly obvious so it matters not。 More for littler little ones, but still great rhymes。 Some adult writers can't even write this well。 。。。more
Ally Aldridge,
My son and I loved this book。 It has a good rhyme to it and lovely pictures with good flaps。 The only reason I gave it four stars is because squirrels feet do not line up correctly with his legs when you lift the flap。
