What is Ms Rachel and the special surprise about?

Ms Rachel is looking for a very special surprise, and young readers are invited to help her find it. Along the way, children can open imaginary boxes, copy simple actions, sing familiar nursery rhymes and join in with new songs. Playful prompts encourage pointing, waving, clapping, taking turns and taking deep breaths, while introducing more than 20 early speech and gesture milestones. Bright illustrations and practical tips make this an engaging book to share aloud with babies and toddlers.
