"One eagle soars high
Two moose wander by
Three orcas swim the
strait "
My granddaughters live in the beauty of the West Coast on Vancouver Island. It is my hope that they will have opportunity to see each of the creatures featured in this stunning board book! I know they have already come face to face with many of them.
This is the second book in a series titled A First West Coast Book. If you have not seen Hello Humpback!, check it out. The collaborators have won various awards, and rightly so. It will take seconds, gazing at the beauty of the artwork and sharing the simple rhythmic text, to add this to your 'favorites' shelf.
It is a counting book and the animals it presents live on the West Coast. Bears, frogs, bees and orcas will entertain little ones and offer opportunity to count from one to ten again and again. The production is elegant and eye-catching, with embossed, glossy images of each animal. The natural landscapes are alluring, as are the bold colors. Indigenous designs are incorporated on and around the raised details. Small children and those who read this book to them will delight in running fingers over the images every time the book is read.
Add it to a basket of board books for the next baby shower!
