Goodreads

All the typical instant appeal items are included in this board book.   The cover is soft and brightly colored featuring an adorable illustration of the star character.  Arrhenius has given this narwhal a shinny look complete with a rainbow horn.   The text is a typical hide and seek where sea creatures are covered with felt cut in ocean designs.  Because of the large font size older siblings will easily be able to read this book to smaller children. Pre-schoolers and toddlers are sure to be delighted by the digital designed creatures as they learn to identify various animals.   Simple and attractive is a great paring for a first book and “Where’s the Narwhal” comes complete with a mirror on the last page.

Great baby gift for ocean loving families and good for public libraries that collect board books. The vinyl cover will clean easily and the soft corners are perfect for babies who are teething.
