Discover the playful world of "Boobies" by Nancy Vo, a delightful picture book that blends humor and education in an engaging format. This unique exploration invites readers to uncover the fascinating truths about boobies—both in humans and in nature!

In "Boobies," Nancy Vo introduces the quirky Blue-footed Booby, a bird whose name sparks curiosity but has nothing to do with mammalian traits. Through witty and accessible prose, the book explains:

  • The role of mammalian boobies: How they nourish the young with milk.
  • Diversity in the animal kingdom: An enlightening journey into how boobies vary across species.
  • The connection to art and nature: Linking boobies to mountains and ancient art forms.
  • The personal aspect: A reflection on how boobies differ from person to person and change over time.

Perfectly suited for curious young children and older ones beginning to understand their bodies, "Boobies" celebrates this topic with boldness and joy. The book is adorned with striking stencil art in a retro color palette, making it visually appealing and an extraordinary addition to any bookshelf.

Nancy Vo’s creation has been recognized for its innovative approach, making "Boobies" not just a book, but an experience that educates and entertains. Open the pages and embark on a journey that embraces curiosity and celebrates the wonders of nature.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
