Written by Mem Fox, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
Walker Books, £10.99
This is a celebration of babies around the world that focuses on their differences (of where they live) and their one great similarity - their ten little fingers and ten little toes, to play with, to tickle, to wave. A wonderful addition to any nursery's collection of books for the very young.
HIDDEN HIPPO
by Joan Gannij and Clare Beaton
Barefoot Books, £10.99
Told from the perspective of a child on safari, Hidden Hippo takes the reader on a journey through the grasslands of Africa to encounter creatures such as elephants, giraffes and zebras. But the animal to look out for is the hippo, and finally with a loud splash, you find him! The book is suitable for older children within the EYFS, but the rhyming text and felt applique illustrations will definitely appeal to the very young.
