Your Island by Jon Klassen

Your Island by Jon Klassen

Blending dry, subtle humour with minimalist artwork and an engaging bedtime story, adults and babies will love this brilliantly quirky board book by international bestseller Jon Klassen!

"Young children will enjoy the simple and straightforward way this book is written, while adults will appreciate the deadpan humour." The Scotsman on Your Farm

"A comforting board book about imagination and safe spaces from the legendary author of I Want My Hat Back that creates a charming forest from a handful of familiar objects." Waterstones on Your Forest

With familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, an island and all its items – a tent, a fire, a boat, a bird – are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down. This is an island for a young child to have whenever they want to go there.

A perfect story for young explorers, kids learning their first words and as a bedtime read-aloud, Your Island is a must-have introduction to reading for a new baby, new parents or to gift at baby showers and birthdays.
