Sleepyhead

Nicola Smee
(Mantra Lingua)
12pp, DUAL LANGUAGE, 978-1852690953, RRP £6.95, Hardcover, Bengali/English
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Clues in the Desert" on Amazon

A delightful board book for nursery children, written in rhyme and following baby's preparations for bed: 'Jim-jams on / Fresh and clean / Sweetest baby / Ever seen.' Clear, unfussy illustrations on the right-hand side support the text opposite very well. The size and fonts for both Bengali and English are clear and pleasing to the eye, having lots of space around them. A small illustration under each page of text invites further related comment. (Also available in Panjabi and Urdu dual language editions.)
