News — BABY

This month’s box contains three fun new board books. Just Like Papa, Pirates in Pajamas and Under the Sea. Under the Sea Kate Riggs is a Minnesota based writer of non-fiction books for children and young adults. Her board books are a wonderful way to introduce little ones to the creatures of our world. Perfect for this age group, Under the Sea visits the homes of fish, crabs, an octopus, sea turtle and a whale that practically jumps off the page. Tom Leonard is an illustrator from Philadelphia where he lives with his wife Rose and their cat Maroef.  

Tigers, bears and bunnies oh my, are just some of the adorable creatures in this month’s baby books box. One Happy Tiger by Catherine Rayner from Edinburgh, Scotland. The Daily Telegraph says that Catherine “has the marvellous gift for capturing the souls of animals in a few, rich washes of colour.”

This month, we are pleased to feature three books recently published in a board book format. Birds by the award-winning husband and wife team of Kevin Henkes and illustrator Laura Dronzek. First published in hardcover in 2009, the New York Times Book Review called it “a perfect book.”

In the November Baby Box we had three board books. We Sang You Home by Richard Van Camp and illustrations by Julie Flett. Richard and Julie were the creators of 2013’s award-winning Little You and teamed up again to create this lovely lyrical board book celebrating the special relationship between parent and child.
