Little World: On the Beach

Little World: On the Beach

A push-and-pull adventure

Summary

Introducing the interactive Little World series from Ladybird that makes our big world little.

Little World is designed for curious toddlers, allowing them to explore familiar landscapes and faraway places, from cities and jungles to outer space and ocean depths.

The gentle narrative is perfect for reading aloud, guiding children along the beach as they play the part of a lifeguard - raising flags, patrolling the beach and even building sandcastles! A novelty slide, push or pull on every spread will engage children as they walk along the sand and watch the waves.

Sam Meredith's bright artwork and charming characters encourage interaction and play, with lots to spot, see and enjoy on every spread.
