Little baby books: Outdoors ill. by Mel Four
Bloomsbury, 2017. ISBN 9781408873786
(Ages: 0-2) Board book. High-contrast pictures. Animals. The other
book in this new series for the very youngest of children is Everyday.
Both feature bold black and white pictures with pops of coloured
foil on each page. The shine of the foil will draw baby's eye as
well as providing a tactile element. Each double page has one word
(bird, ladybird, bee, snail, butterfly) and features an illustration
of outdoor things (leaves, flowers, etc.) The visually beautiful and
high-contrast illustrations will engage the developing eyes of very
young infants. This is a perfect first baby book but older babies
and toddlers will also enjoy it, especially due to the shiny foil
inlays. Older infants will also be able to point to and name the
objects and creatures on the pages.
