Babyliography LVII

Michael Foreman, Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish

1972 / Ebook / 32 pages / UK

****

I enjoyed this eco sci-fi parable as a child, even if, as it turns out, it was considerably below my reading level. She's not that bothered about dinos though, she hasn't seen Jurassic Park yet.


Julia Donaldson and Anna Currey, One Ted Falls Out of Bed

2004 / Ebook / 32 pages / UK

***

A counting book incorporating a plot is a nice change from numerical monotony. And it's about a teddy, which are always a hit, though make it about the child looking for their lost bear and you'd really win her over.


Unknown, Disney's Moana: Adventurer Activities

2016 / Ebook / 48 pages / UK

***

As repetitive as these always are, internally and across franchises, but no stickers this time. Some hands-on activities didn't work on a screen, though others could be jerry-rigged on Paint.


Georgiana Deutsch and Olivier Latyk, Race to the Rescue!

2021 / Library book / 10 pages / UK/France

***

Raising the bar of noisy books by adding lights to celebrate the emergency services in several child-friendly situations. Better than Paw Patrol, but what isn't?


Mara van der Meer, Natalie Munday, Tom Moore and Will Deer, Pull-tab Surprise: Little Cuties

2021 / Library book / 8 pages / UK

*

Every anthopomorphised object is overcomplicated with a distracting first name and half of the tabs are decorated with random clipart for lack of better use. Like one of those baby sensory videos, but without the appeal.
