New from Lost in a Book

Messing around with trucks...
 

  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...

Quiet / Busy Book - Trucks and Denim

Trucks and Denim

It's the ultimate upcycling - denim, cut from an old pair of jeans, beautifully softened, then padded for a cover of a quiet / busy book...

 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...

 All bound up in a soft book by Lost in a Book. Because babies need books too.

Books for babies, quiet / busy books

I'm always trying to find ways of getting books into little hands, but some parents take some convincing that their offspring won't destroy books. So I looked into writing a board book, as always my imagination took over and I soon had several fun ideas, but was thwarted by the high cost of producing board books apart from on a massive scale... so here's the plan...
Quiet / Busy Books these fun books were recently brought to my attention, and that was it - the sewing box was soon emptied onto the kitchen table and lots of colours and textures were stitched together to make my first quiet / busy book:
And in case you were wondering what became of this book - it went straight into the little hands of a very special little boy... but the good news is that there are going to be more where this one came from...
Coming soon from Lost in a Book - some very special books for babies.
