Lois looks for Bob at the Park

Lois looks for Bob at Home, 978-0857638915

These two new board books from the fabulous Nosy Crow books feature their ‘big flap’ format, perfect for little hands that want to participate.  Lois is a little black and white cat, Bob is her beautiful yellow feathered friend. In the park, Lois looks for Bob behind gates and benches, up trees and under flowerpots but Bob is waiting for her at the picnic on the final spread. At home Bob isn’t hiding in the cupboards, behind the coats or the curtains but she’s delighted to find her friend at last settled on the armchair. Each thick flap is a die-cut shape that reveals another eccentrically named animal friend. It’s a lovely, simple format reminiscent of classic Spot the Dog but the bright and bold illustrations bring it right up to date. An excellent present for little tots who love to explore.
