A first novelty board book about the beach, with push, pull and turning mechanisms. There's a Busy Book for almost every occasion, from visiting the local pool in Busy Swimming to learning about all the different animals who live on a Busy Farm! These tough little board books offer so much fun and little hands will love to push, pull, turn and slide the mechanisms throughout. With gentle rhyming text and lots to spot and talk about, Busy Books are perfect to share with toddlers who love to play as they learn about the world around them. There are over 20 titles available in this bestselling series, with bright, child-friendly illustrations from Rebecca Finn, Louise Forshaw, Ag Jatkowska, Marion Billet, Emily Bolam, Joy Gosney and Melanie Combes.

This book is beautifully colourful and our testers loved its interactive nature, which engages children in the story. As little ones pull and push different parts of the scene, they reveal different features which help to encourage discussion and learning.

For example, children talked about going to the beach and what they would do there which develops their understanding of the world around them. Interactive books like this are a great way to encourage children to learn basic words and develop their observation skills. We also like that there is further learning opportunities for the slightly older children as it includes questions such as "what colour is the flag" and "can you find two crabs?".
