One of my favourite publishing companies is Flying Eye Books, they have different categories when searching through their books, one of them being books for ages 5-7.
I had a little search through that section to try and find some inspiration and get a feel for the type of words used in these books.
The first one I came across was one of Ella Bailey's One Day on our Blue Planet series, this one was in the Antarctic.
The majority of the pages seem to be very image based and less text, which looks very nice, but it may be hard for me to fit all of the information and facts in, with the amount of pages that I want to limit myself to.
The next was Hilda and the Troll by Luke Pearson, which is part of a great series of books, done in a comic style rather than traditional story book format, which I think would be good for my story, to help condense the imagery down a little bit so the book doesn't end up being too long.
One Night, Far From Here by Julia Wauters, uses both normal paper and printed acetate to give another dimension of storytelling to her book. I think this would work quite well with mine, maybe combined with the puzzle pages, to make the book extra special.
