DD1 (27) had a favourite book as a toddler. It was so well used, I remember selotaping the pages over and over. We all loved it! But I can't remember much about it, though I'd love to buy it for my future grandchild.

It was for toddlers and said "can you... make your eyes wide like a bush baby?" "Can you...?" Etc etc but I can't remember what else. DD LOVED it!!

The front cover had a cartoon-ised bush baby with wide eyes. The cover was mainly white with blue.

Any ideas please?

Don't Be Shy Bushbaby amzn.eu/d/a8tOex8

This?

Thank you but that's not it I'm afraid.

I should have said - it wasn't specifically about a bush baby. That's just how it started. The other "can you..." parts were about other animals. I just can't remember which ones

Also, I think there was a "Can you roar like a lion" page

(no roaring in that, and it's not 'Can you...' but 'I can...')

From Head To Toe by Eric Carle? 🐛

Not the one you want, but similar, my LO has this:

It's roar like a lion, chatter like a monkey, howl like a wolf, open mouth wide like a hippo, growl like a bear.
Board book with mirror.
We have another one the same with emotions/pulling faces (happy, surprise, sleepy etc).

I'm not that into these but I think LO was a bit old when we got them (gifted them when we'd moved past board books!)

Shared in case this is an ok alternative or will hopefully inspire others in the search.
Hope you find the one you are looking for!

Oh I regret clicking on this post lol! I’m quite ambitious with trying to solve a puzzle, but alas, I cannot find anything that matches your description. I did find this website https://childhood101.com/50-childhood-favourites-picture-books-from-the-80s-and-90s/ - seems like whoever runs this website has a keen interest in all things 80’s & 90’s children’s books. Wouldn’t hurt to maybe pop her a message to see if she has any ideas.
