A BOOK FOR A BABY

I wanted my new book to be for a baby, this baby – Connor – seen here looking at some of the early roughs. I thought, initially, this would be a board book but after studying the costing realised there would be a better return if it were a picture book.
 Not all babies chew books and if the book is in real danger of being eaten it can always be put away, out of reach, after being read. 
These roughs look as though they could have been eaten too but they weren’t, possibly because Connor had just had a good breakfast.
