Bright colors work for the littlest ones

I received this book as a gift for my newborn. She's only 2 months old, but we've already been using it for a few weeks. The colors and shapes really stand out for her and help calm her down for bedtime. The animal pages, with the higher contrast colors, work really well for her.

A newborn baby must have

My pediatrician told me to start reading to my children when they were infants before I put them down for naps or bedtime. Great advice. My children LOVE reading, and it continues to be part of our bedtime routine. This is a great book to read to the really young...3 months and on. Wonderful and brilliant. I give this book to all of my friends. Lois Ehlert is..what can I say....well the woman writes and illustrates really worthwhile books for children.

Colors and Shapes.

Using vibrant colors and die-cuts this book creates the visages of various farm animals. The book appeals to babies and young toddlers and introduces them to various shapes and colors. The die-cuts used to create the various animals are brilliantly conceived. The youngest children at the day care always liked flipping through this book; the color combination really catches one's attention.

Great starter book!

Toddlers love this book because of the vibrant colors. Very young children also enjoy turning pages in books so one-word pages are great. This book is also useful when teaching shapes and colors.

My baby's first book

I bought this book for my 3-month-old son. He enjoys looking at the bright colors. Every times I turn the pages for him, his whole body responses. He is dancing to it!
