A new board book series for Zoe and Beans
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. Kipper won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film in 1998.
Charming adventure to be read with small children, this board book
written and illustrated by father and daughter team, Chloe and Mick
Inkpen are a delight. . . Harriet (four in April) absolutely loved
them. PWT rating: 5 hearts.

We really do enjoy the Zoe and Beans books in our household, they
seem to appeal to all three children (aged 2- nearly7) which makes
for an easy bedtime reading session. The illustrations are lovely
and the stories fairly simple with easy to identify themes which
appeal and inspire all the children and always lead to heated
debates.

As with all of the other books in this series, the illustrations
and story are really simple and engaging for young children and I
have really enjoyed sitting down with Little Miss A and looking at
the books.

The new Zoe and Beans board books are lovely additions to the
series. They're the perfect length for a bedtime story and my 2
year old is just like Zoe, especially in the We're Not Scared book.
She's pretty fearless and acts just like her older brother. The
stories are engaging and the illustrations are lively and bring
each story to life. We can't wait to see more of the adventures of
Zoe and Beans.

We LOVE, Love, Love Zoe and Beans books in the Mellow Household. In
fact, I think I average 6 times a week at bedtime in the presence
of Zoe and Beans. . . I'm so glad that there are Zoe and Beans
board books that I can let Holly loose on without fear of pages
being torn in what I know will become family favourites.

As always, both books feature really sweet, simple stories and
gorgeous, brightly coloured, eye-catching illustrations. . . Libby
always loves the Zoe and Beans books, and each time she has some
new ones I notice her taking in more and more from both the story
and the illustrations. This time, she particularly loved looking
for the ladybird. I know how much she enjoyed the books, because a
couple of days after we'd last read them, we were sat on the bed in
my room reading when Libby suddenly jumped up. She climbed off the
bed and ran into her room, shouting "read the Beans book!" Sure
enough, back she came with one of these books in each hand. I think
it's safe to say that they're a hit!

Millie especially loves the Zoe & Beans range. She is just two and
the lovely bright illustrations really capture her interest. . . .
Hello Ladybird is a really lovely hide-and-seek story. Zoe and
Beans find a ladybird, but then it goes missing! Whilst looking for
the ladybird, they find lots of other things! It is a really fun
story, I suspect Millie can relate to it because she is so
inquisitive at the moment!

When we received a parcel from Macmillan at the weekend and I
showed LM the contents she got very excited! She instantly
recognised her favourites and started laughing and clapping. I
really wish I'd videoed her reaction to share with you, I suspect
she is Zoe and Beans' number one fan. . . Both books are short and
are definitely aimed at young toddlers, I would say from around age
one to three. Bud isn't as interested in them as his sister but he
loves how excited she gets with them and is also happy to show them
to her, or she will look at them on her own too. I really enjoy
that LM recognises the characters and books now and that she shows
a clear preference.
