PS
Notable examples of super-sized board books were published in 2025 from Nosy Crow, including Look, Baby, Look! At Home, illustrated by Louise Lockhart; My First 123, illustrated by Edward Underwood; and My First Lift-the-Flap Fairy Tales, illustrated by Ingela P. Arrhenius. All exceeded eleven inches in height, giving toddlers the opportunity to inventory a variety of household objects, count to twenty, and enjoy complete fairy tales, respectively, on eye-catching double-pages. While the goal of these enlarged titles may be to stand out on crowded board-book shelves, they also let the bold and engaging art shine and offer extra space for flaps to lift. Review covers these titles: My First Lift-the-Flap Fairy Tales, Look, Baby, Look! At Home, and My First 123.
