This little book is amazing






Book Title:  You Are My Baby Safari

Author and illustrator:  Lorena Siminovich
                                                           
                     


Just when you think you have seen everything that a book can do....surprise....up pops a new idea.  This two-in-one board book introduces kids to baby animals (through a inset mini book) and their adult counterparts as they play together.


This series of board books feature an innovative, very creative two-books-in-one format.  The little book is bound with a larger book so the pages can turn separately.  Brilliant idea!  The jungle setting teaches animal names and actions.  The book includes the antics of the giraffe, crocodile, monkey, elephant and the lion.  The book introduces kids to baby animals and their adult counterparts as they play together.



                                        Book Rating System:     9   (Close to perfection!)

Read on and read always!
