Books with author Jan Ormerod

It's morning, and the first rays of sunlight shine into a little girl's bedroom, waking her up. She gets out of bed and matter-of-factly starts her day. This award-winning wordless picture book follows the girl as she goes about her morning routine and watches as her parents do the same. She eats cereal, climbs in bed with her parents who read the paper and drink coffee, brushes her teeth, gets dressed, and goes out the door ready for school. Preschool-age children will enjoy providing their own commentary and comparing their personal routine to hers.

Toddlers will love lifting the flaps and sharing in Baby's fun! Both the pages and the flaps are made of stiff, sturdy board, which makes them easy to turn and lift for even the smallest hands. Raising the first flap, toddlers lift Baby's hat off his head, They remove his heavy coat in the second picture. Then off comes Baby's shirt, off comes his pants, and off comes his diaper. At last, this happy Baby can splash in his tub! The illustrations are perfect attention-catchers for very young children, featuring simple, solid-looking shapes and very bold colors. (Ages Infant-2)
