Peter's Party Mandy and Ness List Price: £4.99 Paperback - 16 pages ( 1 October, 1998) Little Hippo (Scholastic Children's Books); ISBN: 0590199994 Peter's Party is a cheery little lift-the-flap book. As part of the new Litle Hippo imprint, it's been designed to help young children learn new concepts - in this case, about different tastes. Each page has a few words of text telling us what Peter ate at his party, and a picture of Peter putting that food to his mouth. Lift the flap to see him eating it, along with a few more words - such as salty, crunchy or zingy describing it. A nice touch is the way photographs are used as the under-the-flap food pictures. This gives a realistic edge to the book, which may encourage conversation about foods, tastes and textures by making it easy to relate the book to real life. Return to index
