Synopses

Higher! Higher!

A child on a swing makes the familiar request to go “higher, higher”, with Dad gamely keeping up. The moment is simple, recognisable, and built around the rhythm of a repeated plea.

On My Potty

This board book centres on a milestone question for toddlers: where to go when you need the toilet. It frames the decision in a direct, child-friendly way.

In The Bath

Bath time becomes playtime, with bubbles turned into imaginative disguises, from Santa’s beard to bunny ears. Along the way, Baby imitates a motorboat and lets Mummy wash his single hair.

Huggy Kissy

Family affection takes centre stage as Mummy lifts Baby “uppy”, Daddy kisses his tummy, and everyone wants a cuddle. The focus stays on everyday gestures of love.

Tickle

Tickle Monster arrives, and the baby insists he is not ticklish at all. That confidence is tested, from feet to tummy to armpits, with plenty of comic sound effects.

Toot

Tooting is presented as something everyone does, from pets to parents. When the bald baby does it while running, it’s compared to the sound of a train.

No No Yes Yes

Everyday behaviour is met with clear reactions: pulling a cat’s tail earns “no no”, while a gentle pat gets “yes yes”. The contrast continues with the different responses to dumping food versus using a spoon.

Quiet Loud

This spirited board book plays with opposites, acted out by an expressive toddler. Each pairing is performed with deliberately dramatic, comic effect, making the contrasts easy to grasp for very young readers.
