Let's Join in

Shirley Hughes takes four verbs: hiding, giving, chatting and bouncing, and creates a delightful individual story around each one. Featuring the same family as the classic Nursery Collection, this bumper book shows how you can hide outside or in; give a present or a kiss; chat with friends face to face or on the phone and bounce on the sofa or on grandpa's knee.

With Shirley Hughes' distinctive illustrations, these are warm and comforting stories which introduce simple concepts and accurately reflect the trials and tribulations of family life as experienced by its younger members. --Philippa Reece
