Jo & Nic's: the cloth books that crinkle like tiny newspapers

Jo & Nic's has been charming very small readers since 2018, with cloth books dreamed up and illustrated by Nicola Moore and Jo Joof. The format is the joke: each one looks, feels and sounds like a tiny newspaper.

The Nursery Times titles rustle with that satisfying crinkle little hands can't leave alone, across six pages of bright, colour-blocked illustration. They're built to grow with the child - first the sound, then the turning of pages, then the rhymes read aloud.

Machine washable, UKCA/CE tested, and packed in a card envelope ready to post - which makes them a gift as much as a toy.

All the news that's fit to crinkle. No bad headlines.
