Admit it: sometimes all you really want it eye candy. And Ida Pearle delivers with A Child's Day: an alphabet of play. Page after page of her beautiful collages dazzle the viewer, er, reader.
What, you say? People are lovely and all, but you’d rather gaze at an alphabetical array of animals?
Okay. Then Charley Harper is surely your man. His sturdy little board book is chock full of graphic depictions ranging from blue crab to shaggy yak.
And if you have a little person who has graduated beyond the board book, check out Animalia. It is breathtaking.
If Ida Pearle’s book is a licorice allsort, and Charley Harper’s is a peppermint swirl, then Graeme Base’s picture book is definitely a true-to-life, sparkly marzipan fruit.
Delicious reads, all three.
