Perfect for babies from the moment they are born. With simple, high-contrast black-and-white illustrations and just a few words per page.
This book has stood the test of time. A classic board book, perfect for newborn babies because of the high-contrast and simple black-and-white illustrations. The few words are presented in a curvy red type because red is the first primary color newborns see.
Look Look! is an ideal newborn book, something to look at with them or place on the floor with them. It’s not a book that needs to be read from cover to cover. It’s a stop-and-enjoy the flowers sort of book. Allow children as much time as they’d like on each page.
When your child “outgrows” the need for true baby books – those chunky board books with simple illustrations and extremely few words – you may feel tempted to move the books on. I recommend keeping these books as children do remember them. When the time comes to begin reading on their own they will turn to their first baby books as if the books were old friends, joining them on the new reading journey.
