Many animals live on or close by rushing rivers and bubbling streams. they have to learn to go with the flow – or they’ll be washed away!

Boo Roo and Tigger Too’s thoughts…
Roo is a naturally inquisitive child so have a book full of fabulous facts about animals is right up her street. As she was sitting reading through it for the first time I could see her pull some puzzling faces, when I asked her what was wrong she replied ‘Mummy, did you know that foxes use poo and wee to mark their territory!…. Disgusting!’
Whilst the book is aimed at school age children this didn’t stop Tigger getting involved in the action. The thick pages are perfect for him to turn without fear of ripping and spotting all the animals was great fun too.
With a RRP of £5.99 I think that this is great value considering the amount of information included within the book, I’m actually thinking of buying a couple to give as birthday presents when Roo attends her friends parties.
