BOOK REVIEW: Green Bean's Christmas


TITLE: Green Bean's Christmas
AUTHOR: Anita Frost
PUBLISHED BY: Green Bean Studios

This attractively produced board book complete with a beautiful red ribbon tie, contains a delightful Christmas story where children are taken on a wintry journey to find Green Bean's House.

With thick sturdy pages, it is ideal for youngsters with small hands and tiny fingers to learn and practise how to turn pages of their favourite story books.

Not only is it a story book, it is also an interactive resource for teaching children a way to learn colours, numbers, counting and communication skills. It is a fun sensory reading experience whilst at the same time enriches the magic of Christmas with the engaging story of friendly Green Bean.

The excitement starts for youngsters as they untie the shiny red ribbon and look inside to follow the magical Christmas journey of Green Bean. Fun lifting flaps are included on many pages which add to the pleasure children will experience whilst the story is read to them. They will delight in finding out what is under the flaps as they lift them. Questions to be answered by youngsters feature on nearly every page and the interactive lifting flaps are a bonus.

Parents and teachers who recognise the importance of finding books that engage children from an early age will appreciate that this book certainly does that. The books are beautifully produced and illustrated; they are durable and have genuine longevity; this is definitely a book to be treasured and kept to be handed down to a younger sibling or relative.

The book is a perfect Christmas gift for children or ideal as a stocking filler; it will be very much welcomed as an addition to a Christmas Eve Box and is suitable for children aged 12 months to 7 years.
