Dinner Time! & Bed Time!

Aussie Baby’s First Words 1 & 2
By Tom Jellet
Reviewed by Mia Macrossan
Tom Jellett is a Sydney-based illustrator. For over twenty years he has illustrated a number of books for children including Dirt by Sea by Michael Wagner, the My Dad Thinks He’s Funny series by Katrina Germein, Tiny Tradies by Tami Sussman and the Besties series with Sporty Kids author Felice Arena.
In this new series for babies learning first words, using only Australian vocabulary, Tom Jellett is both wriiter and illustrator. The design aims for maximum impact with a short sentence on the left and a colourful picture and one word on the right. The sequence ends with either time for dinner or time for bed. The font and illustrations are bold and clear, each items is easily recognisable.
I prefer Dinner Time! as Bed Time! while excellent may not match the ritual that every child develops when going to bed, (not everyone has a dummy). That said parents can always adapt and invent to suit their own circumstances.
Many parents and educators will find these two sturdy board books a useful and attractive introduction to words and pictures for the very young.
