Hello. I’m Buns.
I notice which books babies return to.
- Babies are surprisingly clear about what they enjoy.
- Some books stay close.
- Others get forgotten.
Most families end up buying more books to find the ones that last.
This kit brings them together.
Chosen for the stage when familiar things matter most
The books that tend to get opened again and again.
Cuddle Reads
I Love You to the Moon and Back
Amelia Hepworth
Soft, reassuring reads for winding down together.
Book notes
Show your child just how strong your love is every minute of the day! The sun rises, and a bear and cub begin their day together. They splash in the water, climb mountains, watch the colorful lights in the shimmering sky, and play with friends. They show their love for each other by touching noses, chasing each other, and, of course, hugging and snuggling before bed. A sweet book for babies and toddlers ages 0-3.
Peekaboo Books
Dear Zoo
Rod Campbell
Simple reveals that keep little eyes engaged.
Book notes
Celebrate forty years with this special edition of Rod Campbell's classic lift-the-flap book, Dear Zoo, with a host of favourite zoo animals and flaps to lift on every page. 'I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet . . .' Young children will love lifting the flaps to discover the animals the zoo has sent – a monkey, a lion and even an elephant! But will they ever manage to send the perfect pet?
Sing-Song Stories
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Bill Martin, Jr.
Steady rhythms that feel familiar and easy to follow.
Book notes
A big happy frog, a plump purple cat, a handsome blue horse, and a soft yellow duck--all parade across the pages of this delightful book. Children will immediately respond to Eric Carle's flat, boldly colored collages. Combined with Bill Martin's singsong text, they create unforgettable images of these endearing animals.
