Product Description

Product Description
Following on from the hugely successful PETS and FARM, this well-researched cloth book has been developed to appeal to babies from birth. The mix of high-contrast images, crinkly pages and mirror will stimulate baby's senses and make this a perfect first introduction to books. Babies love looking at faces and will find the friendly animal images and patterns fascinating. The book also has a strap, so it can be attached to cots or buggies, and very simple text to help parents discuss the images with baby. It's never too early to give baby the gift of books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for babies, 27 Mar 2007
By Dr. A. Hedges "maymz" (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remebered learning at medical school that young babies couldn't see in colour and thats why they were so drawn to black nd white, so I searched for this type of book when my little girl was born. This was one of my favourites it's short and simple and she loved it. Babies are drawn to faces anyway so she was hooked from when she was tiny. At first she would stare as I showed her the book as she got older she would reach out for it and sarted to appreciate the crinkly noise it made. She can turn the pages heself now and loves to chew it. It has lasted from 4 weeks and is still one of her favs at 6 months a great buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute and Simple, 2 Feb 2006
By L. L. Harding (West Sussex, England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has become a fast favorite for my 21-week-old daughter.

The book has three pages entitled Daddy, Mummy and Baby. The pages make excellent crunching noises and there's a small velcro strap sewen to the book to ensure it doesn't fall out of your baby's pushchair.

This purchase was worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars visual aid for babies, 25 Jan 2006
This is a great book for all babies.

However, the high contrast colours and mirror make it especially good for babies and children with visual problems. As do the book's tactile and auditory qualities, adding extra dimensions to the book, making it more interesting for children who can't see well.
