Nosy Crow Ltd, illustrated by Louise Lockhart
A fold-out book opens into a broad park scene populated by woodland animals. Readers greet the animals as panoramic views alternate with close-up animal faces. At the end, a mirror offers a reflected face. Bright artwork drawing on textile and folk-art influences fills the pages, while the folding format lets the book stretch out in front of a baby.

Upside Down AnimalsDanielle McLeanThis animal book changes the meaning of its pictures when the book is turned upside down. A monkey can be climbing or swinging, a duck can float or dive, and a cat can leap or settle into sleep. The reader’s view determines what each animal appears to be doing. Simple rhymes and playful, brightly colored illustrations accompany the transformations, while spot-UV details appear on every spread for tactile exploration.Under FiveOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details

The book follows the food from its source to a satisfied tummy, using bold, bright die-cut illustrations to mark each stage.
