Buster is staying with Grandma on the farm and sets off to find eggs for breakfast, but they're nowhere to be found in the stable. Little ones will love lifting each sturdy flap alongside Buster as he searches the farmyard, meeting a host of familiar animals along the way in this playful, interactive board book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom Rod Campbell, the creator of the bestselling preschool classic Dear Zoo, Oh Dear! brings the same winning formula of simple, repetitive text and satisfying lift-the-flap surprises to a charming farmyard setting. Buster's quest for breakfast eggs takes young readers on a guessing game through the barn, the field, and beyond, as each flap reveals a new farm animal and builds anticipation for what comes next. The bright, bold illustrations are designed to capture toddlers' attention, while the short, rhythmic phrases make the story easy to follow and repeat aloud, supporting early language development. This 40th anniversary edition keeps all the charm of the original while offering the thick board pages, chunky cased cover, and extra-sturdy flaps that make it robust enough for little hands to explore again and again. It's a firm favourite for storytime, whether at home, nursery, or in the classroom, and pairs naturally with other Buster stories including the touch-and-feel titles Goodnight Buster! and Buster's Farm, plus the search-and-find book Where's Teddy?. As a lasting favourite since 1983, Oh Dear! continues to introduce new generations of children to the simple joy of flap-book storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInteractive lift-the-flap design\u003c\/strong\u003e builds anticipation and supports early word recognition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable board pages and sturdy flaps\u003c\/strong\u003e are built to withstand repeated reading and independent exploration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBold, engaging farm animal illustrations\u003c\/strong\u003e keep toddlers curious and turning the pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple, rhythmic text\u003c\/strong\u003e in classic Rod Campbell style is ideal for reading aloud.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrusted 40-year favourite\u003c\/strong\u003e from the creator of the bestselling Dear Zoo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRod Campbell has been a trusted name in early years publishing for over forty years, creating books specifically for babies and toddlers.
