BOARD BOOK REVIEWS : How Big is Zagnodd? by Sandra Boynton & You're My LIttle Baby by World of Eric Carle
ABOUT THE BOOK
Finally, a board book
that dares to answer the question: “HOW BIG IS ZAGNODD?” (Spoiler
alert: SO big.) From there, we zip around outer space to meet a wild
variety of aliens—Boknuk, Fleeb, Igwak, to name a few—who are LONG or
FUZZY or BRIGHT or DANCEY or SLEEPY. And then, for reasons that aren’t
entirely clear, there’s Steve.
This hilarious new book from the out-of-this-world Sandra Boynton will have Earthlings big and small giggling with delight.

REVIEW
This short rather silly board book asks questions about made up creatures before answering them. The questions ask about some condition related to the creature. How big? How long? How fuzzy? How bright? etc. The silliness makes this a book that young listeners are likely to want to return to again and again. The illustrations are vintage Boynton, deceptively simple with lots of curves. A fun book for young listeners who like plenty of silliness and nonsense in their books. The book provides a fun introduction to character details.

REVIEW
This cute touch-and-feel book honors the tender relationships between mothers and babies. Each page highlights an animal parent (and baby with a cute Eric Carle illustration and sweet couplet. Every other spread also has a touch-and-feel element. There are flaps, soft wool, shiny paper, and finally a mirror for a human reader and baby to look into and appreciate their own relationship. Eric Carle's illustration's are fabulous as always and the couplets are tender. A great book for deepening relationships between caregiver and child.
