A new title in the interactive Little World series from Ladybird - moving board books that make our big world little.

Little World is designed for curious toddlers, allowing them to explore familiar landscapes and faraway places, from cities and beaches to outer space and ocean depths.

The gentle narrative is perfect for reading aloud, guiding children through the savannah plains and spot the sleeping lion, grazing giraffes and wandering elephants. A novelty slide, push or pull on every spread will engage children as they spend under the savannah sun .

Sam Meredith's bright artwork and charming characters encourage interaction and play, with lots to spot, see and enjoy on every spread.

Reviews

A funny, fascinating illustrated memoir that conveys - via joyous tangential leaps, vivid doodles and informative notes - how it felt to grow up autistic and undiagnosed . . . a rewarding and highly entertaining read

—— Guardian

I REALLY love it. It's the book I wish I'd had when I was a kid (I'd have known I was autistic immediately, right down to the cats). Buy it for your kids, your parents, your grandparents. Mostly buy it for yourself

—— Holly Smale

Illuminating

—— The I Paper

A hugely engaging, funny and informative account of being neurodivergent

—— Observer

This book is what I needed as a kid! Empathetic, joyful and beautifully authentic. I loved it!

—— Elle McNicoll, author of A Kind of Spark

Funny, poignant and wise, with a rich seam of understanding and empathy . . . one of the best children's non-fiction books I've read in a long time

—— The Bookseller

Insightful, accessible and easy to navigate, this is an essential book for autistic and allistic (non-autistic) readers of all ages

—— Booktrust

An amazing, life-changing hug of a book I wish I had when I was growing up. It's funny, eye-opening and supremely reassuring and an important, myth-busting look into autism and how that experience can vary so much. For anyone and EVERYONE who has ever felt different. Time to reclaim it and celebrate it

—— Rashmi Sirdeshpande

This book is a great explainer, full of empathy for different situations, which explodes many misconceptions about autistic people along the way! I wish I had had this available many years ago when teaching an autistic child on a one-to-one basis

—— Love Reading 4 Schools

What a difference Abigail Balfe's new book is going to make for so many people! A Different Sort of Normal is a wonderful blend of humour, information & reassuring comfort

—— Emma Perry

Highly illustrated, beautiful and an essential book for young autistic people
