"""Orla Kiely is one of the UK's most popular designers at the moment. I seem to see her designs everywhere on everything from stationery to kitchen jugs, and now her graphics are available as a baby's book of colours.
First of all, this This counting book is lovely (from one to ten) makes a nice partner to hold. It has Orla Kiely's book about [[Orla Kiely Colours by Orla Kiely|colours]] if you're looking for a wonderful weightiness pretty gift to it, and it feels nicely sturdy, ready give to withstand being thrown across the room! a new yummy mummy. The fabric cover has a fabric is rather lovely to touch and feel to it, which makes it very touchable, and I think babies would like to stroke the cover as you read board book feels well constructed and able to themwithstand a bit of a chew from a teething baby.
Inside there's a Each double page for each covers a number with one side in block colour, with everything from orange to grey to purple. The colours themselves have a sorted stylised number, plus the name of muted tone to them - no primary colours to be seen here! the number below it. For each colour Then on the other page there's a page of the colour with one relevant number of Orla's designsa particular object, the opposite there's an object in the stated colourplus that objects name, so for orange number 2 there's an orange page with a grid design of orange coloured cars plus the word 'orange' then opposite there's a large picture of a car and the word 'car'are 2 apples pictured.
My only concern really is that I don't think the book is much fun! For me it seems like the sort of book I would purposefully pack into the nappy change bag so that it might The images are just fall out when Iwhat you'm out for coffee with my mummy friends d expect from Orla Kiely - classy and contemporary and oh, how classy I would terribly stylish. Her books will look with an fabulous on your coffee table next to your Orla Kiely baby booktea pot! You knowThe colours have that softer, matt look about them, it's sort of a coffee table book but for babiesso no shiny bright colours here. I wouldn, personally, don't have wanted think the images are much fun to read through it repeatedly to my daughter, however contemporary these designs may be, look at and would there isn't much prefer to hunker down with a scope for interesting discussion whilst looking at each page - no funny creatures being silly in the good old ''Dear Zoo'' background, or babies doing things that I defy any you can talk about with your own baby not to enjoy!.
And Still, the images themselves, whilst all very modern point of a counting book is to count things and lovely, aren't terribly engaging for babiesso this book performs its function. We have items ranging from forks to pears to leaves to boats. I also wasn't keen on thought the fact that cups page might be confusing since some images are in their true colours (the page full of green pears) but then others aren't, for example the page with a black tree which, confusingly, is actually a white tree with a black background on the colours page...Confusing. And the patterned designs don't really provide much else cups are stacked so not to easy to talk about identify as you read other than the name of the colour and the name of the objectseparate items.
Still, it is a rather gorgeous looking book and whilst I am more pyjama mummy than yummy mummy I think there are plenty of mums out there that really this book is for mummies who will feel the need wish to have this little book in co-ordinate with their library. You might want to take a look first before you buyother Orla Kiely items, or introduce their offspring to see if it's the sort delights of book youdesign at an early age. It'll enjoy looking through repeatedlys all very nice to look at, but it would certainly make an impressive-looking gift for a new baby if you're struggling not very much fun to find something for the mum who has everything.read!
I'd Further reading suggestion: For more counting fun you might like to thank the pubishers for sending a copy to Bookbagtry [[The Selfish Crocodile Counting Book by Faustin Charles and Michael Terry]].
Further reading suggestion: A rather more fun board book for babies to learn about colours is [[Mr Pusskins - Colours by Sam Lloyd]]."""{{amazontext|amazon=1405258551}} {{waterstonestextamazonUStext|waterstonesamazon=83331121405258551}} {{commenthead}}
