Hen goes to Market
When hen goes shopping we visit each stall with her as she chooses items from her shopping list. The text poses questions: 'Do I want apples or bananas?' and having searched the pictures, we can pull the tab to find out. Through the mechanics, the chosen bananas disappear from the stall, popping into Hen's basket, whilst the fruit is given a positive tick on the shopping list. There are intriguing flaps to lift for further discussion, bright, stylised illustrations and the ending has a lovely twist. Great fun!
