Paul has been looking forward to spending a day at the pony farm. His day there is a busy one: the ponies are fed, saddled and bridled.
Behind the large flaps, surprising scenes are waiting to be discovered. Short sentences and plenty of simple questions encourage children to speak and continue the story. |

About the Series: |
|
|
"First Encounters" is a series just for children from the age of 18 months and up. With Paul, the little redheaded protagonist, children can explore the worlds of cars, tractors and planes, just the things that are most exciting for this age group. Large flaps that can be opened even by the smallest children's hands let them actually experience the scenes. Short texts and questions engage children, while encouraging them to open the flaps and repeat words. Every flap conceals a surprise, ensuring that leafing through the book never becomes boring. The last two-page spread summarizes the most important concepts in words and pictures. |
