This is another beautiful book which has been made and based on the popular children's television show, In The Night Garden. The front cover shows a picture of Upsy Daisy with the Ninky Nonk behind her. The title is in a pink shape at the top right hand corner in yellow and white lettering. The back cover of the book shows the scene of Igglepiggle in his boat out on the sea. There are also some small pictures showing other titles available to buy.
The story starts with Upsy Daisy going for a walk with her megaphone. She is singing through her megaphone, what lovely music Upsy Daisy. We then see Makka Pakka who can here Upsy Daisy singing, she thinks it is lovely music. Next we see the teeny tiny Pontipines who can also here Upsy Daisy singing and they also think it is lovely music. Next we go to the Tombliboos who are playing their piano, again what lovely music it is.
Upsy Daisy can here the Tombliboos piano and she thinks it is lovely music. Will the Tombliboos stop playing and let Upsy Daisy carry on singing or will they make her stop?
The book is a great addition to children who are fans of the show. Throughout the book we have the questions which the narrator of the TV series asks and they are fun for the children to answer when reading it to them.
The book is laid out in a lovely way with nice big bright words on coloured pages and lovely photographs as illustrations which have been used from scenes in the TV series. I like the use of photographs for the illustrations as the children have no problems identifying the characters.
The book is very short and will only take a few minutes to read but you can make it last longer by talking about what you can see in the pictures.
The pages of the book are made from nice think card which help younger children with turning the pages as they are easy to get hold of with smaller hands. I have also found that the thickness of the pages has stopped my youngest from being able to rip them.
The book has a retails price of £3.99 but do shop around as I have seen some supermarkets selling them slightly cheaper.
The book was made based on the TV show which was composed by Andrew Davenport and has been published in 2008 by Penguin Books Limited.
I am reviewing the hard back edition of this book and not the audio as ciao have listed it.
