CREEPY CRAWLY CALYPSO Tony Langham & Debbie Harter
Jump and jive with this funky band of mini-beasts, as they play their cool calypso beats!

The counting theme throughout helps young learners with their numbers up to ten, and there are lots of creepy-crawly facts at the back of the book, in addition to information about the Caribbean and calypso bands. Read alone: 4-7. Read together: 0-4.
