Have you heard of Zoe and Beans? My children love hearing about their adventures and were very pleased to receive copies of their brand new board books by Chloe and Mick Inkpen – perfect for little hands!
How many pets? – Learn to count with Zoe and Beans!
How many pets can you see? Join Zoe and Beans and their friend Oscar as they count the animals, from one to ten. There’s a hungry rabbit, a kitten, a duck, a puppy and even a cow! But will there be enough room for them all?
This book is perfect for my 3 year old who is currently obsessed with numbers. With its gentle rhyming text, beautiful artwork and familiar and funny animals, this book is perfect for him, and his younger sister is enjoying it too!
Look at me! – Dress up and play with Zoe and Beans!
Zoe and Beans and their new best friend Oscar have found a dressing-up box. But what will they be today? Join them as they become robots, doctors, bumble bees – even pirates! This is a lovely book for encouraging your child’s imagination, and will hopefully help my toddler enjoy his dressing up box as well.
Chloë Inkpen grew up surrounded by picture books and has a natural gift for storytelling. A love of language and art saw her swap an English Literature course for a degree in Visual Communication at Glasgow School of Art. She spent her final year specializing in children’s book illustration and was awarded second place in the Macmillan Prize for Illustration in 2008.
Mick Inkpen is one of today’s most popular picture book author/illustrators and the famous creator of both Kipper and Wibbly Pig. Mick has won the Children’s Book Award for Threadbear and the British Book Award twice, for Penguin Small and Lullabyhullaballoo. Kipper won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film in 1998. In 2012 Mick Inkpen was one of the top 10 most borrowed children’s authors in libraries. It wasn’t until Mick became a father that he began his career in children’s books.
