This book is such a joyful one to share with a very young child. On each page there is a tiny hint of which animal will appear on the next page and yes you have seen this format before but in this book there is a twist. As more animals enter each scene one animal leaves.
"First came the elephant with his friend, the lovely ladybird. Guess who was next?
Tiger came next, with his friend, the dog. Who left? Guess who came next?"
Blurb from Book Depository: This amusing guessing game book is entertaining and educational for pre-schoolers. Featuring a cast of quirky animals on each spread, children are prompted by questions to guess who will appear on the next page and who's leaving the page. The guessing game nature of this book allows children to use their analytical skills of concentration, thinking and observation to provide the correct answers.
I hope you can find this book in a library because sadly it is out of print. I picked up my copy from a local bookshop but it had been on their shelves since 2016. As a bonus there are some delightful words in this book. "Ginormous giraffe came next"; "a teeny weeny little piglet"; "with a tatty toucan." And there is a terrific, funny twist on the last page. This is one of those books where your young reading companion is certain to say "read it again ... ".
