Fourteen board pages are enough to give a small child a first map of the animal world, which is the job this Baby Learns title takes on.
Published by Om Books International, the book presents zoological ideas without the terminology that normally comes attached to them, relying on clear pictures and short lines instead. Its length suits the attention span it is written for, making it workable as a quick bedtime read or as the repeated daytime favourite that a toddler carries around for weeks.
Things worth knowing:
• Fourteen pages sized for one short reading session
• Animal concepts pitched at ages three to five
• Bright visuals that reward a second and third look
• Board construction that survives daily use
Useful for parents, nursery teachers and early science shelves, issued by Om Books International and available at Boipoka.
