”'The first thing we noticed about Sophy Henn's new book is how beautifully big it is. Not too big to fit on a shelf or have pages turned by small hands, but bigger than most picture books. The size invites children to become fully absorbed in the gorgeous illustrations. You can almost guess what the personalities of each animal might be.” - TheFairyTaleMum (Instagram)

”'The best thing about these books is the huge illustrations, perfect for showcasing just how big these baby animals are, or in certain instances, how big their features are! We love these books and comparing the animals against objects or ourselves! Noah is just about the same height as the huge fold-out elephant pages!” - Literate Littles (Instagram)
