by Lydia Monks (Illustrator), RogerMcGough (Author)
This title is a novelty picture book with a gently rhyming text by Roger McGough. On alternate pages the reader is faced with a die-cut shape - a triangle, some holes, a square - and wacky questions asking what on earth could be on the other side of the shape. When the page is turned, the image is revealed, accompanied by a funny verse. Brightly illustrated by Lydia Monks, this should prove to be a visually exciting and interactive book to be returned to time again. It is suitable for reading alone or sharing, from ages three upwards.
