Suki Cat Astronaut

Publisher: Nosy Crow

Today Suki Cat is an astronaut! Join her as she zooms to the moon and helps an alien. Push the sliders and pull the tabs for an out-of-this-world experience! 

This charming board book has a simple story, with lots of chances for interaction. There are tabs to pull and sliders to push or waggle back and forth – even on both the front and back covers. These mechanisms change the pictures, rather than reveal something like lifting a flap does.

For instance, you can make Suki change into an astronaut’s clothes and then back into her dungarees. Thagency (or power!) this gives the reader will delight young toddlers, and will mean they can enjoy the book almost as a toy, by themselves. Manipulating the sliders will help improve their fine motor skills too.

But sharing the book with an adult provides the extra unmissable element of listening to a story, and the chance to admire the lovely illustrations together and spot things, like Suki’s mouse friend. For such a simple book, there is much to discuss and enjoy. Perfect for sharing with toddlers.
