Definitely a family favourite!
It has touchy-feely bits, and a brilliant pop-up on the last page.

So... Little Piggy is convinced that Wolf is somewhere on the farm (don't ask me why, the kid had a hunch, just roll with it...) So he wanders around sticking his hand into hiding places to see if Wolf is there (surely that's just asking for Wolf to bite his hand off?) Each one is a hidden touch-panel (eg, this one is soft, this one is smooth, this one is rough, etc) and it turns out each time to be a different animal that Little Piggy is unknowingly groping - Kitten's fur, Frog's back, Chicken beaks, etc. Except for the last one, of course, which really is WOLF! AHHHH! WOLF! BIG POP-UP BITEY SNAPPY WOLF!

At which point my two year old, Fin, goes "Oh no, Wolf! Hide!" And throws the duvet over his head and sits there giggling while I wrestle the Big Bad Wolf away. Winning.

Fin gets to chose two stories for both naptime and bedtime, so he gets through (at least) four stories a day. There are some that are, quite frankly, rubbish - but he likes them. You just throw in some silly voices and try and make it fun. Then there are others, like this, which are just a pleasure to read every time.

Recommended if you know a little one in need of a present!

After this I read: Railsea
