A while ago I wrote about my excitement at these two books for kids. I said I'd review them. So this is a review of sorts.
Here are my books:
If anyone recognises the kids books to the side of them you get a prize of my respect. Yes I bought 3 copies of the Girl Power one. One for me, one for my niece and one for another kid, who I shall be giving it to for Christmas. I'll also give the Busy Bodies one to another child.
The books are pretty much as you'd expect from the solicit photos. They are board books, definitely intended for babies and I guess kids aged up to about 2 or 3. They are designed to help kids to read, to help parents interact with their kids, to promote bonding. I guess the Girl Power one could be read by an older child with an interest in superheroes (maybe a 5 year old?) but the Busy Bodies one is unlikely to be enjoyed by any kid that already knows their body parts. Unless, maybe they like the superheros and they use the books to stimulate their imaginations?
I like the books for their traditional (non sexy, non violent) take on the superheroes, for reaching out to kids, for being durable and for being good to look at (if you like stock 70s art).
I'm going to give the Busy Bodies one to a 4 month old boy and the Girl Power one to a 7 month old girl. I think the parents will enjoy them and I like the idea of the kids growing up with them.
