Do you love good books for children?
Parents in Touch (UK) –
Through its instantly appealing large simple graphic images and contrasting colours, it moves the child from basic shapes and familiar objects to a wider world, full of story, character, and wonder. This rich and surprising book finishes with a playful picture dictionary that refers back to the images, creating a lasting and memorable experience.
Trevor Agnew, The Source (NZ) –
This picture book, Aleph, is helpfully described as a picture dictionary for babies. Each double page spread has a bold symbolic image, beginning with abstracts, such as circle and square, then progressing to concrete items like apple and house. By the end, the pictures are inviting a little imagination and storytelling, with such tale-starters as wolf, robot and princess. This is a great book for catching the attention of readers-to-be.
Lancashire Evening Post (UK) –
Contemporary, quirky and created in a compelling large format, Coat’s first book of words and pictures is perfect for sharing with babies and toddlers.
Gleebooks (AU) –
A stunning, and deceptively simple, picture dictionary for babies.
