review 1: I have no idea who the target audience for this book might be. The illustrations and vocabulary are wildly inappropriate for the normal age range for board books. The style of the artwork makes some of the concepts difficult for a child. I work with children every day, and the conceptual levels in this book are just weird.As a book for adults who just want something strange and cool, it might work, but the format is causing this to be marketed for parents to read to and with their toddlers. Seriously, what toddler can recognize a small, ornate hair barrette in an illustration, or even knows that word? Will they recognize the very stylized art style as representations of real world concepts, such as a white circle on a darker background of clothing representing a button? Gi... moreven the style, I would say probably not.The only reason I gave it a second star is that the concept is so far out there that I can see adults putting it on a coffee table to amuse friends.
review 2: Anna Karenina: A BabyLit Fashion Primer introduces the little readers to the intriguingly beautiful Anna Karenina, a fictional character created by author Leo Tolstoy. Each page contains a single fashion related word followed by simple engaging text that encourages little ones to search the illustrations for an object. The illustrations are amazingly elegant, with bold colors and creative design. The story captures the grace and style of Anna Karenina and delivers an inviting early learning book for children.I highly recommend picking up a copy of Anna Karenina: A BabyLit Fashion Primer. less
