Pip, Pip, Hooray! by Karen Bendy


This is a flap book. There are over 50 flaps, 9 of which are on the first double page spread. Each scene has Pip the cat, always identifiable because of his circular Pip badge, amongst lots of similar looking black cats and kittens with big circular eyes and pink noses. Other animals with similar looks also appear.

Then there are the flaps which might be a look inside a cupboard or might change a kitten from being at the top of a slide to the bottom of the slide. Also inside the flaps are some tasks, say to count up something, or to find a number of objects in the picture, adding to the fun.

The flaps are well glued in and the back cover says that the book is not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts. For this reason the flaps should stay in, and ours have so far, but if younger children with smaller fingers grab hold of it I don't know if that would be the case.

The scenes have plenty going on in them too. So overall this is very good, and can be seen again and again.

(I got this book through Amazon Vine UK. It is listed HERE.)
