"January is grey and white, with snow that sparkles in the light. February is white and blue: the winter sun comes shining through. March brings spring with blue and green. Easter flowers will soon be seen." Big colorful pictures and a very simple rhyme take a child through the twelve months of the year. Every page gives adults and children lots to look at and learn together—colors to recognize, and objects to spot and count.

Bring joy to baby's first Christmas as together you share this bright and festive book! With one bright illustration and one or two words per page, this board book is especially for the very, very young. Stephen Barker's colourful, blocky illustrations will help with simple picture recognition and early language awareness, and the sturdy board book format will survive all that a baby can throw at it.

This collection of 21 Bible stories includes lots of items for children to recognise, point at and name as the story unfolds. Bold fonts annotate the bright illustrations, which will be easily recognisable by children, helping to tell the story as well as aid simple word and object recognition. For instance, children can help Noah identify the animals boarding his ark (elephant, rhino, parrot); look at the stars and moon with Abraham; march march march around the walls of Jericho with Joshua; and count baskets of loaves and fishes with Jesus. These interactive elements will not only help engage children as the story is told, but also add an early learning educational value which make these stories extra special for adult and child to share.
