First Word Book, illustrated by Jo
|
 Here’sa brightly-coloured book with wipe-clean pages that introduces words in child-friendly categories like ‘yummy foods’ ‘favourite animals’ and ‘in the garden’.There are lots of familiar objects and animals that children will recognise at home. Each page has a group of cheerful pictures with large name labels, and these labels use a typeface that is recommended for early reading and writing, though it’s a shame that the illustrator’s name is buried on the back page.Published by Little Hippo, £2.99 |
I Love my Potty, by Lara Jones
Here’s
the classic story of a child’s imagination deciding what her
potty will be used for. The potty makes a brilliant car and a
seat for storytime, and is the cause of conflict when the girl’s
young brother wants it too. ‘Sometimes my potty is a drum
– Bang! Bang!… And sometimes my potty is just my potty!’Father of a 17-month-old comments:
“We’re just getting into the idea of potties – there’s
one hanging around the house from my elder daughter, so this
is a good way of not being too serious about the whole
business – if you know what I mean!”
