WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT BOARD BOOKS?

Here's a few things about board books good to know.

Board books are real ‘page-turners’

Much of the reason for board books is their innate capability to be used by really young kids. These children are typically aged between one and three years.

If you are publishing a board book you are a part of a noble cause. Research indicates that toddlers’ development is really escalated if they use books… early literacy is enhanced, general language skills developed and thinking advanced. Board books also build parent-child bonds. There are benefits all round: Raisingchildren.net.au

Why are board books in demand – its because the pages are made of board and children can easily turn the pages. It’s as simple as that. But what’s not simple is printing quality board books in Australia.

With Fox Merit the page turning feature can be further enhanced by using a spacer on each page spread.
