Author rambling on...

So what does a quiet / busy book have in common with a regular book...?

  • Both need a heap of imagination to write
  • Both will entertain 
  • Both have pages to turn
So how are they different...?

Quiet / busy books:

  • Must be strong enough to withstand a baby, and never underestimate that...
  • Can have all kinds of stuff stitched into them to stimulate a baby
  • Must be chewable and washable
  • A very tactile way of creating a book, by rummaging through fabrics and objects
  • Not as easy to mass produce
Regular books:

  • Must be strong enough to withstand reasonable use
  • The content relies on words and pictures to entertain
  • Will not take kindly to being chewed or washed
  • An equally creative process needed to create, but less to do with things you can touch, more rummaging around in the imagination and daydreaming...
  • Easily mass produced
