Pairs! In the garden offers a memory game, an interactive information book and a very attractive picture book all in one. Busy, bright spreads introduce readers to mini-beasts, inviting them in sprightly rhyme to ‘explore a world of flowers and trees, of butterflies and honey bees’. Amongst illustrations of plants, flowers and insects are hidden seven flaps per page, and there’s a challenge to lift the flaps to find the matching pair of bees, snails, grasshoppers etc.
Readers can also spot and count other items on each spread. It’s lovely to look at and lots of fun and also provides opportunities to learn about the natural world. A good book to pop in the bag for a journey, or to look at before a trip to the park. ~ Andrea Reece
