Description
It's soft! It's warm! It's cold! It's in the air! Explore the familiar world in imaginative new ways in this stylish board book from the celebrated illustrator Ingela P. Arrhenius.
What do a phone and a hammer have in common? Would it help if a fire engine, a trumpet, and a crying baby joined the crowd? Noisy!
With her trademark sense of whimsy and her bold, retro illustration, Ingela P. Arrhenius delights young children as well as design lovers as she looks at the everyday world through imaginative common themes. Flowers, a new book, and a freshly bathed baby all smell great, but a skunk, old fish bones, and a baby in need of a change? Not so good!
Whether up in the air, in the water, or things to be found at Home Sweet Home, readers are invited to take a playful tour of the world around them to discover the way that things are alike, and how they are wonderfully unique.
