Finger Puppet Book

Playful first book for curious little hands

This is such a lovely pick for babies and toddlers because it turns a beloved classic into something they can actually play with. The finger puppet and peek-through pages make storytime feel lively and interactive, while the counting, colours, and familiar transformation into a butterfly give it that warm, satisfying Eric Carle magic. It feels like the kind of book little ones will ask for again and again.
