Little Black Book by Renee Khatami Ages 2+ 14 pages Random House July 2011 Board book     Readers interested in adding some variety to their board book collection will be thrilled with Little Black Book, which has touch-and-feel, scratch ‘n’sniff, and lift-the-flap aspects to it. It’s not surprising that the subject matter relates to black items, but each is introduced with crisp, vibrant photos and some type of added enhancement. The fur on the black bunny is soft, the cat’s whiskers are stringy, the velvet dress is smooth, the licorice smells sweet, and a surprise awaits behind the flap hiding the magician’s black hat. Little Black Book makes a great addition to any child’s board book collection, and it’s a great way to assess which type of interaction your little reader will find most appealing.     web reviews   Lori West/2011 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
