Synopses & Reviews
Sally has a list of ten items she needs to buy. Open the flaps to see inside the shops, where unusual things are going on. Should those wild animals be upstairs in the pet shop? Will the plates fall off the wall in Mr. Cooperandrsquo;s China Shop? Can Sally find everything on her list? Children will pore over this charmingly illustrated interactive book to find out.
Each shop is depicted in Alice Melvinandrsquo;s trademark highly detailed illustrations that both evoke a previous age and yet remain strongly contemporary. Rhyming text and repetition of Sallyandrsquo;s shopping list make this book perfect for reading aloud.

Synopsis
An interactive alphabet book that children finish themselves
Beginning with "A is for Autograph," this treasure hunt will have children searching high and low . . . Only when the reader has contributed to every page is the book finished and the hunt over!
This illustrated interactive alphabet book allows each child to create a finished book unique and personal to them. Readers can add to each page, from giving dots to the Dalmatian dog to finding a joke for the Jolly Jester. Many pages require an object to complete them, and so the hunt begins . . . for postage stamps, fruit stickers, and a favorite view, among others.
