I don’t tend to notice board books all that much.
This time, I noticed.
Originally published in France, Martine Perrin’s Look Who’s There! and What Do You See? have a look and interactive quality that immediately grabbed my attention. The same will be true for youngsters.
Look Who’s There! is about the natural world, each spread focusing on a different animal hiding behind something in its environment:
What Do You See? is a series of scenes combining object and animals, highlighting cause and effect:
The artwork and design steal the show here. Dramatic die cuts adorn every spread, encouraging readers to find out what’s next. Both books have a modern, geometric look that focuses attention.

Beautifully executed and entertaining from front to back, Look Who’s There! and What Do You See? are the kind of books that become favorites.
