November 2013, Caterpillar Books, 12 pages, Hardback, Review copies
Summary from Little Tiger Books (adapted to include both books)
This high-contrast baby board book is packed with baby’s first words!
Every page has an eye-catching shiny red/blue finish and a simple
illustration of one of baby’s favourite things.The black and white
pages, with a bright colour and shiny red/blue foil, are designed with baby
in mind.
Nayuleska's thoughts
These are mega cute books with items related
to each other on each double page spread. There's a simple swirly border which
varies it's pattern on each page, then small random pattern around the main
item of focus. The pages are easy to turn because as you can sort of see from
the cover the corners of each page are different sizes. I liked how as well as
the word being written beneath the item sometimes there is an additional word
to explain what the item does eg crunch is used withe the apple.
Now, although I like the foil type effect
which is on every item, I was a bit disappointed that both books had the same
style of foil - I expected glittler to be used in one book to differentiate
between sparling and twinkling. It's sad that I have to take marks off what are
two delightful books for babies, but maybe the next books in the series will be
different.
