Books like I Face the Wind
By Vicki Cobb
For the kid who asks a hundred questions about how the world works, this turns one of them into an outdoor experiment. Curious, hands-on, breezy and playful.
Bold die-cut shapes stack and overlap page after page, transforming circles, squares, and triangles into nine recognizable zoo animal faces right before your eyes.
A big, friendly bear wanders through the woods noticing colors all around him — inviting little ones to spot matching colors of their own on every page.
A rhyming romp through everything that counts as a house — anthills, dog kennels, corn husks, pea pods — and eventually the surprising idea that a shoe, a mirror, even a word, might have a house too.
A concept book traces everyday transformations — seed to flower, tadpole to frog, caterpillar to butterfly — using die-cut pages that let one shape magically become the next.
A bright, rhyming romp through a day in the life of birds — from the rooster's dawn crow to the owl's nighttime call — inviting little ones to cheep and tweet along.
A collection of children's own definitions for everyday things — a hole is to dig, a face is so you can make faces — told in the funny, backwards logic only kids have.
A rhyming game of I Spy sends little eyes hunting through orchards and riverbanks for Tom Thumb, Bo-Peep, and other familiar fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters hidden in each picture.
A young inventor imagines the ultimate car — complete with a snack bar, a swimming pool, and a robot chauffeur named Robert — then takes it out for a wild test drive with his dad.
A white shape drifts across page after page of blue sky, looking like a rabbit, a bird, an ice-cream cone, and more — until a final reveal answers what it really is.
A little boy turns his living room into a bustling traffic world, using records as rotaries, shoe boxes as highway ramps, and crayons as lane markers to make his cars stop and go.
