Product Description

Product Description
Many child-care experts believe babies are better able to see and recognize shapes when they are presented in black and white. A butterfly, a leaf, an elephant, and a small child are among the solid black images presented against a white background in this sturdy board book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect first book for infants., 21 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Since infants are more aware of contrast than color in the beginning, I 'read' this book with my daughter from the time she was four months old through about her first year. Cover to cover, I read the words (title and book description, which almost hypnotically became part of the experience!) and described the pictures, sometimes tracing them with a finger. Our interaction with the small book was cuddly and verbal, as the images served as guides. She had her favorites, and the book is well-worn, chewed in places. It was a daily gentle activity, holding her interest, obviously delighting and stimulating, and paved the way for more and more books. Personally I prefer it to the White on Black, and always give it as part of a gift packet to friends with a new baby in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute delight, 20 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is a great book for parents to share with their infants--to the newly talking. Each page features a distinct and easily recognizabe shape. The hard pages are nearly indestructable.

Our kids loved looking at these books. We cried when we finally moved them into the garage because the kids had finally outgrown them.

We make these part of every baby shower basket we put together. It's never too early to get into the habit of "reading" to your children, and these are the perfect "first books" for every child.

5.0 out of 5 stars hours of fun, 19 April 2009
By F. Hamelin (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My baby spent hours looking at the pictures on this book as soon as he was a few weeks old. Surprisingly enough there are pictures he likes more than others. This is a great book, buy it for your little one as when they are very young they only see sharp contrasts like black and white. Later on you can teach them what the shapes represent.

I bought white on black and black on white. My baby was never interested in either. I don't blame her, they're not very interesting. Read more
