A delightful lift-the-flap book, beautifully illustrated by Jonathan Langley, with lots to do and talk about. One day Mary wakes up to find that her little lamb is missing. She quickly enlists the help of her nurseryland friends in an attempt to find out where Little Lamb has gone. Hickory Dickory Mouse, Old Mother Hubbard and even the Grand Old Duke of York join in the hunt, but it is Little Dog who eventually leads Mary to her lost sheep. This beautiful book takes the reader on a wonderful tour of nurseryland, introducing children to all their favourite characters, while they search behind the flaps for Little Lamb. With nursery rhymes for all the characters featured on the endpapers, this really is a book to be visited time and time again.
