A delightful book for the very young child, this exemplar of paper engineering comprises eight pop-ups of animals. Each is identified with a colour and another adjective: a croaky green frog, a hungry pink pig, a clever red fox and so on. The pop-ups are effective, continuing to work well after many openings. Their novelty will ensure that this would become a favourite with pre-readers. The best is kept to last: a detailed bat that appears to fly out of the book. Ages 2-4
