      I accidently put this in general discussion earlier instead of here. I've been working on a few simple board book concepts for the youngest of viewers after getting some really great advice from the always generous and highly talented @lee-white. These 4 images feature my little bee friend, Buzabee. Anyone wants to take a peek and let me know what you think I appreciate it! 😃

        Great color scheme and texture! This is such a sweet design, it reminds me a bit of the hungry caterpillar but it is unique to you.

                  I really love it and the texture, bright colors! Super style and original. I mean to me it's as though I'm looking at the Amazon board book section and getting a peek at the "Look Inside" sample. Yes! I can definitely see this as a board book!

                    I agree with Edie - looks like a book i would have bought for my kids when they were younger - looks professional - looks finished - Looks Great!

                            @shinjifujioka Thanks, @Lee-White said something similar just based on the first spread.

                              These are looking great. Very modern and energetic.

                              I do have a pretty major suggestion though. I don't think the bee is working in the overall concept. I don't think the bee needs to be on each page. Try letting each page have it's own concept and playing with that. Right now the bee looks so right in the flower image, and then he just looks like a spectator in the other spreads without much connection there.

                              Now, if this was a story driven book, like the hungry catapillar, then the bee needs to stay in, but if it's a counting/coloring book, just let the pages be separate in terms of character. Let the design and compositions hold them together.
