Having bought other products from the Early Learning Centre over the last thirty odd years, they should be thoroughly ashamed of producing such a poor quality product.
I bought a sealed pack from one of your branches . . . labelled as suitable for children over two years old. Very few British children of two years of age will have encountered: bottles of ink or jellyfish. I could forgive the lion, parrot, elephant and octopus (which children do at least encounter in books much more frequently) if the general quality of illustration was acceptable . . . but it's not.
The "parrot" looks like a chicken (cockerel) in fancy dress . . . or simply a (very non-specific) bird; the bottle of ink looks like a curious engineering workshop reject; the queen is reminiscent of a Disney princess; the nest looks like a cowpat with a couple of eggs on top; and the suckers on the "arms" of the jellyfish make it look much more like a poor attempt at drawing an octopus . . . with half its arms removed.
Given the fact that the camera was invented over two hundred years ago, there is no excuse for such confusingly poor illustrations - Children deserve better.
Relation None of the aboveTell us about your favourite bits Some of the illustrations are acceptably recognisableAnything you didn't like? Too many are not!
✘ No, I do not recommend this product.
