I do feel that slowly more books are being published with great photos in them as well, which is such a good thing. We really enjoy the Steve Parish books but don't have either of the titles you are giving away.

Steve Parish's books are neat... We are lucky to have two of his books, as Grandad and Grandmom brought them back for from their trip to Australia. Can You Find Me? by Paul Zborowski looks awesome though, as now, Big Bro is 6 and Little Bro is 4 so they would probably love this book! Great giveaway! We love reading nonfiction here. The boys just love learning about all kinds of animals, so we tend to get lots of nonfiction books about animals. We also have a series of books called I Wonder Why. these books are great, as they answer questions for children about all kinds of topics, such as: I Wonder Why the Wind Blows, I Wonder Why Kangaroos Have Pouches, etc. I found them at a nice consignment store for children...what a find! Looking forward to next month's carnival...hope to participate. :) Colleen All three of the books look great! Steve Parish’s books are neat…

I manage to find some extremely well illustrated yet real books. My current favourite is 'The Magic Rabbit'. Gorgeous. And I may have a little too much fun reading.. I liked and I am happy for any book! :) I am a huge fan of ensuring that there is some reality in the books that I read. I manage to find some extremely well illustrated yet real books.

When I was writing this post I looked through our bookshelf and could only find a couple that had realistic photos that showed scenes. And yet there are so many photos easily searchable now, sure you have to pay for them but it can't be that much harder than having an illustrator!

Lucky for modern computers, we often sit together and click through the photos on the screen. I have so many photos I designed for books but never got around to.

We've found a lot of designed 'baby books' lose out, unless they have something cool like flaps to lift. Photos always win.
