Bold and BeautifulOctober 9, 2008 Tana Hoban has done it again! Simple, bold images pop out and grab baby's attention. Great for those first few months when baby is developing eye muscles and tracking. I got it for my daughter when she was an infant and now is a staple I give for baby gifts.
Great Book for BabiesSeptember 8, 2008 These black and white books are great for babies - I buy them to go with all my baby shower gifts! This one is really great because it folds out like an accordian and you have black on white on one side and on the other side it is white on black. Babies will just lay and stare at the images! Still a good book for when the baby is 2 - my 2 year old will now "read" the book to my baby - she tells her what the pictures are!
We like the images but...September 7, 2008 Several of the images are duplicates from other Tana Hoban books. This one is not our favorite especially since it is an accordion style foldout book. I recommend White on Black, Black on White and What is That?
Must have! Adds variety to black n white collectionAugust 8, 2008 Another great black and white book! It's okay to have variety. Maybe baby is content to see the same images over and over but will appreciate variety soon enough as they get older. Different black and whites make it interesting for mami and siblings too! A great buy. My 2 year old likes to "flash" the pages for his brother. Even my toddler can tell that he can get the baby's attention with "reading" to him.
Really catpures babies attentionMay 29, 2008 Bought a few black and white books and have been showing them periodically since our baby has been only a few days old. He will stare at the book and study things. I've only gotten through the cover and one page but I can see the images really capture the babies attention. Will be using it for months to come. Very nice illustrations. Highly recommended.
