    Emma Dodd,  Together…  Nosy Crow/Allen & Unwin,  May 2016, 24pp., $15.99 (hbk), ISBN 9780857635792

    The latest in Dodd’s ‘Love You Books’ series, the scrumptious simplicity of this pre-school book will delight families who read it.

    A baby sea otter shares a comfortingly non-eventful day with its mother… just chilling together in the sparkly bubbly water.

    Circular rhyming text reinforces the sensation of her enveloping love and this book will lead readers to act out comfort, cuddles and maybe tickles.

    Perfect for a non-reader new to books, the small square format and squashy cover encourage easy handling. Splashes of metallic reflective printing catch the eye and compliment the muted blue and grey pallet. These colours contrast with the strong graphic blocks of warm sun and the detailed texture and blobby ink line of the characters. Overall I found the strong design sense extremely attractive and felt that it imbued the pages with a reassurance.
