Baby books : 6 – 12 months : Tulip Builds a Birdhouse

Tulip Builds a Birdhouse, by Dale Gottlieb

Here’s
a sweet story about a rabbit called Tulip on the day she is
given a new toolbox. This small-size, lift-the-flap book is a
real pleasure for parents to enjoy with their babies.The world where Tulip lives is joyfully-coloured, and the
sturdy, moving flaps (not recommended for babies themselves to
pull) deliver some lovely visual surprises. There’s a dream
bubble with bright birds flying through the sky, and a big
flap where Rabbit is checking for eggs in the bird box she has
just made.Mum of an 11-month-old comments: “The clever thing is
that, unlike some baby books where the parent is asked to
bring their own ideas – hard to do when you¹ve had a
tiring day – there’s so much going on here, without being
too complex.”

Fetch and Friends, created by Flextech

This
book links to the TV series about a vet called Tom Fetch, but
you don’t need to be an avid viewer to appreciate the clear
photographs of the models used to make the programmes.The images are bold, with lots of interesting expressions
on the faces of the animals and people the vet introduces us
to.
