Book of 2022 "One day, Haneru Sato became a rabbit. He's been a
rabbit ever since." With these surrealist, yet matter-of-fact
opening lines, we are transported to a world very much like our
own, yet one that is imbued with an added dimension of wonder and
curiosity. In Sato's world, ordinary objects and everyday routines
can lead to magical encounters: a rain puddle, reflecting the sky,
becomes a window that can be opened and peered through. A walnut is
cracked open to reveal a tiny home, complete with a bathtub and a
comfy bed. During a meteor shower, Sato catches stars in a net,
illuminating the path home for a family taking an evening walk.
This whimsical tale is the first in a trilogy from Japan.
I'm uncovered . . . I try to hide my nakedness with my hand. But it doesn't work. Everyone can see. Also on show . . . Bad rabbit habits. Rapt - in toilet paper. Birds with teeth. A live face on the wall. From the one and only Paul Jennings.
Stunning photos of whales, dolphins, sharks, octopuses, clown fish, and other appealing sea animals introduce the very youngest explorers to the wonders of Earth's ocean, from its depths to its shores.
These sturdy pages showcase ocean life with amazing photographs, simple facts, and lively, age-appropriate language to keep babies and toddlers–and their grown-ups–fascinated by every colourful page.
Designed to be the steppingstone to the best-selling National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book series, the Little Kids First Board Book series takes similar subjects and distils them down to the simplest non-fiction concepts for the youngest audience. Not only will readers learn about the ocean and its creatures, they can also find recurring shapes and patterns in the design. Occasional callouts add humour for adults, and sidebar text offers additional learning for older siblings or those ready for more complex information. With their square shape, bright and playful design, amazing photography, clear text, and cues to encourage interactive learning, the Little Kids First Board Books mirror the beloved First Big Books while taking a fresh new approach to excite a baby's sense of wonder and make learning about nature and science fun.
