Phaidon Press Ltd My Art Book of Sleep
Book SynopsisThis keepsake children’s book welcomes bedtime in a new and accessible way: through artTrade Review‘Created for kids, these little books pair famous artworks (Gauguin! Kerry James Marshall!) with read-aloud text ("Love is… soft snuggles… and tender nuzzles"). So special -- adults will want them, too.’ – As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com (Oprah’s Favorite Things 2023)‘Calling all art lovers with children in your lives: These books are for you. The kid-friendly books pair famous works of art with read-aloud text that lets little ones tap into themes of love, adventure and friendship.’ – USA Today on Oprah’s Favorite Things 2023'A relatable framework through which to access broad-ranging works of art.' – Publishers Weekly'The follow up to My Art Book of Love, and it is just as wonderful. The My Art Book... series is my favourite board book series and this book met my high expectations. These two books would also be fantastic as presents.' – Baby Librarians'This exquisite board book will retain its visual value forever—certainly long after children have moved beyond the format. That said, the simple concepts in this book are conveyed with elgance, wonder, and joy that compliment the artwork perfectly. Stunning, poetic, and playful, this one is a delight for all ages.' – Kirkus Reviews'Bedtime stories are a staple for countless children, from epic adventures about kickass princesses to awkwardly improvised tales about talking veggies. Now little readers can also dip their toes into art history with this collection of sleep-related art. The cute cover art also makes My Art Book of Sleep a simple yet gorgeous addition to your bookshelf.' – Bookriot'An intelligent look at art for the youngest of children.' – Waking Brain Cells blog'Parents who hope to inculcate a love of fine art in their toddlers will appreciate My Art Book of Sleep.' – Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal'Sleep is part of every child's day…and this board book has 35 full-page artworks featuring sleep, accompanied by a brief, tender, read-aloud text.' – Houston Family Magazine'An intelligent look at art for the youngest of children.' – Waking Brain Cells'Shana Gozansky's board books stare head-on at naysayers arguing that fine art isn't for children... Gozansky's board books have the feel of a gift book from a museum exhibit; the cover is thick, textured, and gives the sense that there's a treasure inside... These books provide an introduction to famous works and what we can see in our own human experience through them.' – Cosmic Bookshelf

Phaidon Press Ltd My First Book of Patterns
Book SynopsisHave you learned your colors and shapes? Now it's time to learn patterns!Trade Review"A sharply designed and very useful intro to shapes and patterns." —Starred Review Publishers Weekly"Explore polka dots, plaid, stripes, chevron and more... This vivid, artistic introduction to patterns is the creation of two Montessori educators, Bobby and June George."—Baby London"Stripes, polka dots, oral, chevron, and more!... Empower children with the knowledge to visually identify and label the things that make up their everyday lives... This pitch-perfect introduction to patterns will engage the artistic, mathematical, and linguistic parts of every young child's mind. The startlingly straightforward concept ensures that new vocabulary is never confusing while the page-turning reveal adds a great level of excitement!... Sure to become a beloved reference for mismatched, pattern-loving toddlers!"—TheBabyWebsite.com"Conceived by educators and illustrated in vivid candy-colored hues, this pitch-perfect introduction to patterns will engage the artistic, mathematical, and linguistic parts of every young child's mind." —Publishers Weekly"A clever presentation that blends early math and art skills."—Booklist Online"...Beautifully designed and elegant... Takes patterns-and-shapes format to a whole new level. Its layout and use of colors is sleek and modern while still being wholly oriented to the child's experience... My First Book of Patterns is excellent in every way."—The Picture Book Review"My first impression is that the book was bigger than I expected, it's a very good size. Board books are often small with very few pages and I can sometimes feel a bit ripped off with them but this one is more substantial. It measures just over 8" x 6" and is no way lacking in content as it features 66 pages... I have never seen a book dedicated to learning patterns before, there are a plethora of books dedicated to shapes so I really like how this book takes it one step further. My 3-year-old daughter loves it and it keeps her attention very well... It would also be great if you have children who vary in age as they could read it and learn together."—Wigan Mum blog"A delight of a book... There are many board books on the market that look at shapes but this one gives children a far more complex and interesting introduction to these ideas, appealing to a wide age range. The double page spreads showing the patterns created by the shapes are vibrant and eye-catching... A visually satisfying book that can be used on several levels, introducing very young children to basic shapes and exploring patterns with older ones. Recommended for: baby, nursery, pre-school and reception children."—ArmadilloMagazine"I genuinely cannot believe I haven't seen a book like this before. It's colorful, easy to understand, and SO much fun to take with you on the go... Linguistically, it's super fun to learn all of these patterns and their names, but this book is so much more than that. It begs readers to look around them and find these patterns among their own belongings."—Let's Talk Picture Books"Little ones who've already mastered basic colors and shapes can study up on stripes, polka dots, argyle, paisley, and more in this vibrant tome. The smartly designed pages give children the visual cues and vocabulary to recognize patterns, and may also inspire them to create their own." —Artsy"A gorgeous tome for babes and grown ups alike." —Brit + Co"Deceptively simple... Vibrant, retro-style illustrations." —Booklist"Chic... Offers a step-up from instruction in basic shapes." —Wall Street Journal"An inventive addition to any young reader's collection or nursery's book corner." —Montessori International
