Micheael Foreman's pop-up version of the classic counting rhyme has been a favorite of both our kids. This is participatory reading at its finest. Our son is still frightened by the flopping fish tail but in a delighted squeal sort of way. Regretably, this book has been put through its paces so many times, that most of the pop-up architecture has long since stopped popping. That hasn't stopped our kids from picking it off the shelf for "old" time's sake.

Who can resist pop-ups? No kids I know! The content is suitable for upper primary, but even the youngest child can learn something from the judicious use of this book with an adult explaining some of the movement features.

Would be as useful for a junior secondary student as upper primary for a science project. The pop-up features might just have the edge on a CD rom or the Internet!
