Ezra Jack Keats

C settles in to read. It's Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day, which is similar to the Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle in that they're both drawn with paper cutouts. So far, the Caterpillar book holds his interest - the stubby pages in the middle of the book! the holes in the pages! - and the Keats book is good for a quick look and that's all.

I shall have a look for more activity-oriented books, I think. I-Spy and/or die-cut books. At least, until his imagination really kicks in and the pictures in the books start to represent ideas rather than shapes.
