Fosters Imagination: The interactive nature of the puppet book encourages imaginative play as kids use the puppet to act out different parts of the story. Children don't really want just part of the story, and sitting listening for ages is not that engaging. This bath toy is the one that can be squeezed, squished, chewed and nibbled without possibly hurting the child.

This is an invaluable, highly portable aid for essential vocabulary, prompts or 'about me' information when you're out and about. There is a picture of Ollie that can be photocopied for colouring-in and some questions that can be used in schools or by parents or carers.
