Summary

"Like Seasons , Aleph is calming and makes you savour the moment of looking together with a child. It’s compelling even though it appears so simple." Julia Marshall, Publisher

A modern and beautiful large-format first book of words and pictures to share with the very young.

Description

Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet—or maybe a nickname for a toy elephant. Through powerful graphic images, contrasting colours and a thoughtful progression, Aleph moves from basic shapes and familiar objects to a wider world, full of story, character and wonder. Janik Coat’s unforgettable illustrations are perfect for sharing with babies—big, simple images with instant appeal.

"This is a great book for catching the attention of readers-to-be." -- The Source

"This is gold and will have that baby in your lap making those wide-eyed “ooh” faces, as synapses fire happily in their brain."

-- Kirkus Reviews
