Sue

Presented in its own little box, Cuddly Cat is a really lovely first cloth book, perfectly designed for little hands to explore and enjoy.

Striking black and white images showing a range of animals encourage little ones to focus and the pages offer different textual experiences. Flaps to lift are made from felt and are made in bright colours, forming a strong contrast with the monochrome backgrounds. The flap on the final page reveals a mirror so little ones can peek at themselves!

The level of attention to detail given to these books is really impressive. The strap to attach the book to a cot or pram has a Velcro tab, allowing it to be quickly and easily moved from place to place. Even the adding of a Nosy Crow label to the side of the book allows for another texture to be investigated by little fingers! A perfect first book!
