Animals In My Hair: Numbers, Colours, Puzzles & More (Mili Fay Art Picture Books Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Mili Fay (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 30 ratings
In this stunning debut, Mili Fay brings the story of a child's first haircut to life. Taken to a hair salon by his mother, the little boy is the only one not startled by the sudden appearance of endangered animals tumbling from his overgrown mop of hair! This modern fairytale introduces numbers, colors, and some lesser known animals to the reader, while beautiful illustrations hide educational secrets and excite imagination.

THE NEW KINDLE EDITION


For the new Kindle release the original hardcover book has been reformatted to enhance your digital experience. With over 50 pages, the new Animals In My Hair features the original watercolour and ink illustrations as you have never seen them before; in brilliant RGB mode and without a dividing seam in the middle. All of the grouped illustrations have been divided (each illustration on a separate page), while the new pop-up feature enlarges the text, making it easy to read on small-screen devices.

SPECIAL FEATURES


Animals In My Hair is not a picture book, but an art-work book; a book that seamlessly combines traditional fine art, picture books, activity books, educational books, and has extended online features.

As you read Animals In My Hair observe the illustrations to discover hidden visual puzzles: How many ones, twos, threes… can you find? Are there missing bits of illustrations? Mistakes?

Through observation, while learning about an endangered animal, discover its habitat and diet.

Do you know all your basic colors?

Can you count up to ten?

When you believe that you have discovered everything there is to discover in your new Kindle edition of Animals In My Hair, join the AIMH Membership (included with your book) to see if you are right. While at the AIMH Members’ website you can also learn additional facts about each animal, download colouring pages, print art prints, and more.

Review


"This is a magnificently and richly illustrated picture book. The premise is simple, but the execution is divine. Each page is filled with gorgeous illustrations and imbued with concepts such as: counting, colors, and (both familiar and rare) animals. The pace of the story makes it impossible to put down. The tone makes it a joy to read. It is only full of fun and good things. This is probably one of my favorite picture books of all-time."

    Being a big fan of Mili Fay’s artwork, I just had to get this book for myself ;-)
    But as I was reading it, one thing stroke me the most: this book is Made With Love!
    Love flows through the poetry of every line and shines in every stroke of Mili’s wonderful illustrations. Love for the artwork, love for the story and love for the reader, for all the kids who want to be entertained and at the same time need to be taught.
    Animals in My Hair is a great gift idea for parents and a pure joy for kids.

    Mili Fay has created a charming story, with engagingly illustrated characters, and a clever eBook format.

    I read "Animals In My Hair" from the perspective of a parent who has read a lot of books to her children when they were in their younger years, and as an expectant grandmother who is looking forward to reading this story to my grandchild.

    This book is a treasure that will spoken of long after it is read.

    A simple story of a girl's first haircut takes on epic proportions as the barber pulls one animal after another out of her 'forest' of hair. Helps to teach numbers and colours to young readers along with well-known and little known domestic (Canadian) animals. The illustrations are detailed and rich, and this book is worth every penny just for the plentiful and gorgeous artwork in it. - Preston Squire, Author of Isecas The Dream Cat

Each time I look at the illustrations I find something new! My little niece absolutely loves this book and has learned so much about numbers, colors, and endangered animals! I recommend this book to all!
