THE BIG BOOK OF WORDS & PICTURES by Ole Könnecke

A large format boardbook of early concept words and pictures, chocker with charm and humour.
This book contains almost the whole world of childhood and is going to be a big hit with those from one to five years of age, not to mention their parents. I love it, reminds me somewhat of those Richard Scarry ttiles which my kids loved all those years ago.
There’s a kitchen, and all the things in it. There are planes and ships, plants and animals. Music and sports, colours and clothing...as well as bedtime and bathtime
And if you look closely, you will find enchanting small stories on every page.
Here is my favourite page:
