Another super velvety 'touch and feel' book from Ian Whybrow.
In large paperback format (c 24.75 cm square) this book opens to 18 high quality pages, in the popular 2-page spread format.
Endearing illustrations throughout, from Ed Eaves.
From the back cover:-
'Come with Husky and say hello.
In the land of ice and snow!
Stroke the soft, furry animals on each page.
Then enjoy shouting out all their noises.
What a lot of snowy fun!'
And it was rather 'noisy', at the local library tots' meeting, earlier this week!
This book was a HUGE hit!
The majority of the text is laid out in rhyming couplet style which further adds to the atmosphere of the 'read-out-loud' scenario.
The quieter guests loved the velvety texturing on the various animals, starting on the front cover!
Example of text:-
'Come with me and say hello
In the land of ice and snow.
Who's that fishing over there?
Say hello to the polar bear.
Hello Polar Bear!
Grrr, grrr, grrr!
Here's a funny feathery fowl!
Say hello to the snowy owl.
Hello, Snowy Owl!
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo!......'
This delightful book ends with a double page spread of all the animals saying 'goodbye', and giving the young listener/s ample opportunity to shout out all the new noises learned earlier on!
'.....What a lovely snowy night!
Goodbye, Husky! Snuggle up tight.'
