Sheep or Cow? (First Words) [Board book] Chytilova, Lenka and Zacharova, Veronika

Amusing illustrations metamorphosing into different objects from one page to the next.

Lots of animals live on the farm, but it can be difficult for young children to name them all. What about the one with the yellow beak that lays eggs? Is it a hen? Or perhaps a duck? With this board book, kids will learn about the animals that live on the farm. This way, children can learn their first words with us!

On every page, there is a little surprise waiting for them: thanks to cut-outs on every spread, one image transforms into another as the page turns. Combined with thoughtful and lively illustrations, this book is perfect for little ones!

Lenka Chytilova was drawn to books and writing from a young age. It was no surprise, then, when she got a degree in Czech Language and Literature and German Translation. She has always tried to connect books and reading, her greatest hobby, with her work; she worked part-time in a bookshop for many years and she also worked as an editor and proofreader. Lenka likes classic Czech fairytales, and she loves Večerníček, the Czech television program for children’s bedtime stories. She grew up in a village in East Moravia.

Veronika Zacharova is a graphic artist, illustrator, and animator from the Czech Republic. She has made several animated films and projects, some of which have won festival awards. She is an author of the visual identity and the jingle for Anifilm, a Czech animation festival.
