Designed to be both entertaining and educational at the time when language skills and expanding vocabulary form an important part of a child's development. Sound signals appropriate to the story are used to indicate when to turn the page, to assist beginner readers. Mr McGee went out to play, down to the beach one windy day, the story begins. His happy mood is spoilt when he is bitten by a flea, a flea that he can't get rid of. The only solution is to take off all his clothes and jump into the sea because of course, fleas don't like the sea. Mr McGee and the flea are finally separated and the flea moves on to the hair of a dog instead. 3 yrs+
