A combination counting book and quiz game for toddlers asks readers to identify the fairy tale villian the pigs are locking out of their house, and each fold-over flap hides the answer to the rhyming question.
Colin Hawkins (1945) was born in Blackpool, England, and won a scholarship to art school at the age of thirteen. He and his wife, Jacqui Hawkins, produced their first children’s book, Witches, in 1981 and over one hundred titles have followed since then.
In this story characters from various fairy tales blend very well with the number rhymes. For each tale revisited, children get to answer questions on each fairy tale. Knowing they have answered correctly as each flap is lifted will make them want to move on and guess the next fairy tale trivia as the number rhyme continues. This book is great for introducing rhymes to young children.
