“A cloth book that kids can enthusiastically touch and chew, with simple,
two-sentence rhymes that sound appealing to babies. My kids loved the
crinkly front cover!”
- Amy Broadmoore, Delightful Children’s Books
Author/ illustrator Roger Priddy has been at the forefront of children’s
educational books, first working with publishing giants Usborne before
branching off on his own to create Priddy Books. And, whilst our reviews
of great books for kids aims to focus, mainly, on children’s fiction rather
than on purely learning books, many of the books made for the youngest of
our children necessarily combine both areas. And this is what we love most
about Priddy’s book Fuzzy Bee and Friends.
Made specifically for babies and pre-toddlers, this is a cloth book – all the
pages are made of fabric – making it easy to handle for babies as young as 3
months. Unlike other cloth books which often simply present a series of
bold images, perhaps with one word per page, Fuzzy Bee and Friends has a
fun rhyming text that parents can read to babies, offering up the critical
bonding opportunity of storytelling from a very young age.
Priddy also goes the extra mile, for as your baby explores a brightly
illustrated insect world through its textured pages, snippets of useful
information contained within the rhyme reinforce the texture. For example
on the dragonfly page the rhyme goes, “Don’t be fooled by a scary name,
this dragonfly is really tame”, and its wings are made of a gossamer light,
soft material which confirms that the dragonfly is far from a scary thing at
all.
And if bugs don’t take your fancy, then there are a number of these great
Priddy cloth books exploring other animal kingdoms including, Squishy
Turtle and Friends, Fluffy Chick and Friends and Snowy Bear and Friends.
