Stylish imagery in black and white (with a cleverly done tiny hint of colour on each page) introduces some familiar animals in a highly original way. Perfectly placed holes for little fingers will encourage readers to engage closely with each picture as they familiarise themselves with each animal.
Experts and parents know that hands-on books featuring high-contrast design are best for engaging babies' attention. Little ones won't be able to resist running their hands across the intriguing surface and black-and-white cover of My Animals. Inside the book, peek-a-boo holes allow toddlers to grab and turn each page themselves. And when they do, they'll get a new peek-a-boo surprise! With words to name each animal and small splashes of colours throughout, this clever mix of style and smarts is perfect for any baby - or baby shower!
