Little Book Baby

Katrina Germein (text) and Cheryl Orsini (illustrator), Little Book Baby, HarperCollins Publishers, January 2024, 32 pp., RRP $24.99 (hbk), ISBN 9781460763407

Little Book Baby loves books and finds pleasure in reading throughout many moments of each day. Whether it’s waking up in the morning, traveling on the tram, during play, while in the bath, or before bed – books are always a valuable presence.

Katrina Germein effectively uses rhyming and a familiar rhythm throughout to capture Little Book Baby’s love of reading and sharing of books. Cheryl Orsini’s illustrations complement the text with a calm and inviting colour palette, paired with appealing movement and fun, lovable creatures like chickens, koalas, bees, and kittens.

I appreciate the important message of sharing stories with others like mum and dad, nan and pa, but also the value of engaging in books on your own.

This book is a delightful read which captures the joy of books and reading.
