In this video story of Oh Dear!, Buster stays with Grandma on the farm and looks for eggs for breakfast. Each page invites toddlers to lift the flaps, spot animals and talk about what they can see.

Children can join in finding the eggs, matching animals to their homes, and noticing the details on each page. The story supports shared reading and helps develop early language, observation and counting skills.

With bright, bold artwork and a whole host of favourite farm animals, Oh Dear! is easy to enjoy again and again. It is ideal for children who enjoy Dear Zoo and Dear Santa by Rod Campbell.
