Books with author Georgie Birkett

Toddlers will love this engaging book's big, bright illustrations on board pages with touch-and-feel features. Children follow the activities of a happy little boy who walks out from his front door to greet a sunny day. He visits a farm and names the animals, then goes on a picnic and names the good things to eat. Next, he says hello to the ducks in a pond and has fun in the playground. At day's end he goes home and to bed with his Teddy bear for story time. As children turn the board pages, they'll find different textures to touch and feel in most illustrations, starting with a horse's soft mane on the front cover. Inside, they'll touch a sheep's wooly body and a doggy's furry ear. The inside back cover has an added little feature--a miniature picture book that the little boy reads for his bedtime story.

Luckily a friendly mermaid rescues him just in the nick of time, and everyone gathers to celebrate his return with a pirate party.
