Camel

Cut into the outline of a camel, this board book is designed to be picked up before it is read. Wonder House Books pairs bright illustrations with a handful of simple words on each spread, introducing the animal and a few of its traits to children of around two years and older. Thick board pages tolerate grabbing, chewing and repeated turning, which means a toddler can explore the book without constant supervision. The shape itself does useful work, helping a small child connect the object in their hands with the animal on the page. The short version: • A die-cut camel shape that is easy for toddlers to recognise and hold • Simple vocabulary and short sentences suited to age two and above • Sturdy board construction built for constant handling • Clear illustrations supporting early word and picture matching Made for toddlers, parents reading aloud and playgroup teachers starting an animal shelf, from Wonder House Books, available through Boipoka.
