A lift-the-flap farmyard story from Rod Campbell, the creator of the bestselling preschool classic, Dear Zoo.

Buster's staying with Grandma on the farm. But where will he find the eggs for breakfast? Not in the stable - oh dear! Young children will love lifting the flaps as they turn the pages and follow Buster around the farm.

With bright, bold artwork, simple, catchy text and a whole host of favourite farm animals, Oh Dear! is a classic story to come back to again and again. The thick board pages, chunky cased cover, and sturdy flaps make it great for small hands.

Rod Campbell, the creator of the preschool lift-the-flap classic Dear Zoo, has been a trusted name in early learning for over forty years, and Oh Dear! has been a firm favourite with toddlers and parents alike since it was first published in 1983.
