Overview:
Welcome to Acorn Wood, home to endearing woodland animals from bestselling author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler, the duo behind The Gruffalo. This three-book board book bundle gathers Cat's Cookbook, Mole's Spectacles and Squirrel's Snowman, each with sturdy lift-the-flap pages and rhyming text for little hands and eager listeners. Perfect for preschoolers and toddlers, these stories combine gentle humour, repetition and surprise, building vocabulary and encouraging participation.
About the Books:
Cat's Cookbook follows a curious cat determined to learn to cook, searching the shelves of Acorn Library for the right recipe book, with flaps revealing ingredients and friends before a satisfying ending. Mole's Spectacles sends readers on a gentle detective mission: Mole has lost his glasses and searches his burrow, garden and even Weasel's sweetshop, with each flap revealing a new hiding place, in a repetitive rhyme ideal for children learning to predict and join in. Squirrel's Snowman brings wintery cheer as Squirrel and friends hunt for the pieces to build a snowman, celebrating teamwork and the joy of a snowy day. Across all three stories, Donaldson's musical rhyme and Scheffler's warm illustrations create a world young children want to return to again and again, while the flaps support memory, vocabulary and fine motor skills. As part of the wider Tales from Acorn Wood series, these titles work well as a first introduction to the woodland gang or an addition for existing fans.
