On the verso pages here, the text – and on the recto vivid photos of toddlers and babies proving the truth of the text. The writing is about how the really, really young love to engage with books – and the writing is in six languages, which only helps to pull the eye in, add colour, and make the questioning mind a bit more engaged. I doubt the parent reading this out will be able to pronounce the Chinese, Hindi and Arabic as well as the English, French and Spanish, but this has to be a success. I've often noted that books for the youngest users are tools to get them used to books – this is likewise an advert, but here addressed to the adult to make sure that that use is built up and sustained. It's a reminder the habit of book experiencing needs an adult hand or two to fix into place. A strong four stars, as a result.
