Crunchy Board Book Series: Seasonal
Little Bee Book | Board Book Format | Published 2020 - 2021
The Crunchy Board Book Series by Little Bee Books uses a simple push-pull mechanism to give the illusion of the character eating something on each spread. I illustrated five seasonal titles and two every day titles. The seasonal books covered a range of holidays including Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! Read more about each book below!
Bunny Brunch - Babs the bunny is throwing an Easter party! From painting eggs to decorating baskets, kids will love celebrating with Babs and her friends in this adorable, interactive book. Each spread showcased a different animal in the “chomp position,” so every character had to be designed around the same diecut mouth shape!
Turkey Gobble - It's Thanksgiving, and Little Turkey doesn’t know what to bring to the feast. As she samples the traditional foods her forest friends prepared, will she find her perfect contribution in time? The artwork features stylized forest foliage in a warm, fall-inspired palette alongside friendly forest critters designed around the chomp mechanism on each page.
Monster Munch - It's Halloween, and Boo the Ghost is hosting a party for his monster friends! What snacks will they munch on? Each spread of the Crunchy Board Book series has to be thoughtful designed because the artwork (or food) inside the character’s mouth is part of the previous or next page, depending on the placement of the tab. For example, the trail mix in Frankenstein’s mouth on the cover is a tree behind Boo on the opening spread!
Nutcracker Crunch - It's Christmas Eve, and the nutcracker is hungry! He jumps into little Clara's dreams to find the perfect snack before everyone wakes up. Due to restrictions on where the diecut mouth is placed within each book, the nutcracker’s hat was a little on the short side. I designed a unique shaped pull-tab that extends the nutcracker’s hat when he opens his mouth!
Santa Snack - It's Christmas eve, and after a busy night of delivering presents, Santa is hungry! But will he be able to find the perfect snack before flying home to the North Pole? Kids will love making Santa take big bites of classic Christmas snacks in this interactive, yummy, adventure.
