When my kids were little, and we dragged little books about with us wherever we went to keep them entertained (quiet), I wish they'd looked like this. They were always bloody awful primary bright colours and boring pictures.
Of course I'm guilty of contributing to the world-supply of UglyBrightBooks myself. When I've been commissioned to illustrate them. A lot of publishers "think" that cheapo primary colours and cutesie pictures sell best. It's the safe option. And I need to earn a living.
But if there are any 'more discerning' publishers about who fancy working with me on this kind of First Words book....then please, beat a path to my door promptly! The CoolMoms will thank you.
