Babies of Australia come in all shapes, colours and sizes, but they all have the same BABY WAYS.
In this sturdy 15x15cm board book, babies and their parents can share stories about their own daily eating, sleeping and reading and at the end see themselves - in a mirror set into the book! Wonderful full face portraits by renowned photographer Frances Andrijich feature the diversity of Australia’s babies over 16 pages.
The rhyming text can be read, chanted or sung (to the tune of Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush) and will be enjoyed again and again.
This book has been a gift book for the State Library of Western Australia’s multi-award-winning Better Beginnings Family Literacy Program for the past two years, and has been enthusiastically received by babies and the adults who care for them. It is available @ $6.95 per copy, plus delivery.
The Big Book edition is a 36x36cm paperback which is ideal for group sharing in a library, playgroup or childcare setting. It has an outstanding application in demonstrating the value and importance of reading aloud, and is one of the very few Big Books available for this age group. Note: there is no mirror in this edition.
The Big Book is priced @ $19.90 per copy plus delivery.
