Follow the mystery tail in this interactive finger-trail adventure!  Whose is this tail? Whose can it be? I followed the tail, just to see.  One curious child and one long, colourful tail invite you on a playful journey, using your finger to trace the tactile trail through every twist and turn.  Children will delight in exploring die-cut doors and windows, weaving up and down until they reach a spectacular gatefold reveal.  Designed to engage children of all reading abilities, A Long Tail combines lyrical text with vibrant illustrations and clever interactive features. The story travels through the landscapes of a child’s day from morning through to evening, making it perfect for bedtime reading.   Written by Rebecca Atkinson – co-founder of Toy Like Me and creator of pre-school series Mixmups, which airs on Channel 5's Milkshake! – and illustrated by Kate Read, this book combines interactive design with vibrant art to create an engaging reading experience for every child.
