Join in with all the fun of the fair by unfolding this exciting pop-up playset.

Set the train off and see the other surprise! The large tableau is contained in a colour pictorial box. ISBN: 1840115106. All pop-ups and working pieces are in excellent order (music still works); however, one tab has come unstuck, with a little creasing to corresponding pop-up. Case is still very good.
