Review Quotes

The wonders of London and New York, two of the world's most vibrant cities, spring to life in a pair of captivating board books by leading textile designer Jane Foster. Jane Foster's London and Jane Foster's New York are a bold and stylish introduction to iconic landmarks and famous sights. With eye-catching, retro-inspired artwork, these beautifully produced board books are the perfect gift for a new baby or first birthday. From black cabs, the Crown Jewels and Big Ben to Central Park, the Empire State Building and Coney Island, Jane's vibrant and retro-inspired illustrations use high-contrast images to introduce children to each city. Enjoy the vibrancy of a traditional red telephone box, see a colourful plate of English fish and chips or marvel at the intricacy of an American pretzel and the bright yellow of a famous New York taxi. Foster's images, featuring vivid colours and thick black lines, provide hours of early learning fun whilst also acting as a stylish alternative to traditional photographic board books. The glossy pages are appealing to both the eye and little hands, and sturdy enough to withstand the roughest handling. A city spree for the very youngest!-- "Lancashire Evening Post"
