What's behind the shed door, with the chunky button door handle? 
Drive along the road, and into the tunnel... or is it a cave?
There's a handy pocket...
Just use your imagination - it's a new story every time...

The new festive busy book has a Christmas tree on the cover.
...and a furry Rudolf with a shiny button red nose.
There's a snowman and a Christmas stocking - bursting with glossy ribbons...
A Christmas pudding that's a flap - hiding a secret...
All bound up in a soft book by Lost in a Book. Because babies need books too.
There's a pocket on the front cover to store the trucks, but don't worry they won't get lost - they're attached by colourful cords.
Are these pockets for trucks? Or are they tunnels, or a terraced road along a mountainside... let the imagination do the rest...
Drive the trucks between the trees, along the mud road.
Drive them into the tunnel... or truck shed... whatever you want it to be... make up your own story with your baby.
But what's this... a flap, a shed...?
Use the chunky button to lift the flap and find out...

I made an xmas pudding - but not the sort you can eat. The pudding is a flap with a secret underneath...
Lift the flap and find a mouse, with a cord for a tail.
Meet Rudolf, with his shiny red button nose...
Lots of textures here, with a felt snowman, Christmas tree - and ribbons - who can resist the feel of satin ribbon...?
You can tie the ribbon in a bow... if you want to...
Colour and pattern contrast. Christmas stocking and a pocket.

| I just had to show you the chaos that went into the making of this book. |
 |
| But out of the chaos emerged a book... |
 |
| So the chaos was cleared away, to reveal a new unique book for babies. |
 |
| I especially like the bear on this multi texture page - he doesn't have a name yet... any ideas? |
 |
| I lost the blue balloon twice in the heap of bits, before I got it stitched down - must be more organised next time... |
 |
| There's even a little zip up pocket for secret things... |
 |
| ...and there we have it, all neatly tied up again. |
 |
| I love these Lost in a Book labels I had made for my baby books.
So what will Lost in a Book come up with next... ?
|
 |
I emptied a heap of ransom stuff onto the table, and got creative... |
 |
The cover of the book was from fabric I bought specially, as was the wadding, the cord to tie it with was from my sewing box. |
 |
Babies love to pull at random things - including zips. |
 |
I bought the giraffe motif, but the favourite page was the mad collection of a cords from my sewing box . |
 |
I bought the hippo motif and big buttons, the other fabrics came form my sewing box. |
 |
Back cover, with cord to tie, or just hold and wave about in excited manner :) |
