We do a lot of interactive reading and ‘Can you find?’ books really encourage children to pay attention to detail and question things. Marion Billet is one of my favourite children’s book illustrators and I have to admit to being more than a little in love with Littleland, her colourful world, populated with cute animals. So, I was thrilled to see a second Littleland book had arrived. Around the World (Nosy Crow, RRP £9.99) is a whistlestop tour around the globe, taking in different cultures and traditions and features nine items to spot on each page. Great for taking on a trip or to a restaurant, it will hold little ones’ attention for ages – both of mine (five and two) have enjoyed it and it would make a fab gift.
