10 Silly Children: A funny new illustrated children’s novelty book from a fresh talent

Product Description This lift-the-flap fun and joyous story celebrates all things silly. This is the perfect way to teach children their first ten numbers, whilst also allowing for some fun along the way with its interactive flap-out page design and Jon Lander's charming original illustrative style. This book has been specially designed for parents to read to their children so that they may learn how to sit quietly, eat their peas and respect their elders. The previous statement was a lie. Jon Lander’s joyous, lift-the-flap story celebrates all things silly – while reinforcing counting skills. The children are behaving sensibly – painting peacefully, helping with the washing, brushing their teeth and more. But what is under the flap? Are they making a mess? Dressing up a lion? Brushing the teeth of a crocodile? Of course they are! How silly! Close the flap quick! A brilliantly entertaining novelty format, perfect for engaging young reader’s imaginations! ‘New talent Jon Lander takes us joyously from sensible activities – sitting still, having a bath, cooking, gardening – to fold-out flaps in which extreme silliness holds sway . . . perfect for reading aloud’ Guardian Longlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize 2022 Review “A really original book that is great fun to read together.” Booktrust (Great Books Guide 2022) ”New talent Jon Lander takes us joyously from sensible activities – sitting still, having a bath, cooking, gardening – to fold-out flaps in which extreme silliness holds sway . . . perfect for reading aloud” Guardian Book Description A funny new illustrated children’s novelty book from a fresh talent About the Author Jon Lander is a UK-based author and illustrator.
