The Daddy Animal Book is
the partner to The Mummy Animal Book, released earlier this year. The
depiction of father and baby penguin on the light blue and teal cover,
introduces the colourful contents.
Design and layout are identical to The Mummy Animal
Book with the left page defining what the daddy animal is called and
beneath, what the baby animal is called.
A daddy polar bear a called a boar.
A baby polar bear is called a cub.
Interesting factual information on each animal
follows in brief. A boar can be as
heavy as a car but its cubs are born no heavier than a jar of honey.
The right page shows the daddy with the little ones
in fine line illustrations. Each double spread is individually presented in full
colour with eye-catching images. The naming text matches a specific shade used
in the illustrations. Tender pictures of
baby animals with their dads encourage discovery at the turn of a page.
The book is produced in a compact format to match
the content and is ideal for little hands and children’s bookshelves. It can be
delved into at any time, at any place.
