Customer Reviews

Great grow-with-me book!

The black and white and white and black concept is always great. This black and white book is especially good for that collection. This one is also good later on as infants because it has words too! A little variety goes a long way with this book in comparison to other black and white board books. I couldn't choose so I got three. This is a definite must if you cannot decide.

Wonderful for bitty babies

I purchased this book for a baby shower gift - it has everything you'd want for newborns: high contrast, large images, and just the right length for those short attention spans. I wish I had had it when my son was tiny.

excellent

i borrowed this book from the library and my 8 month old loved it. i felt we had to buy it. i do different animal sounds for each picture and he is now anticipating the action. he is now 10 months old and this is his favorite book. i just have to hold it up and he comes right over to look.

My Daughter Loves It

My 11 week old daughter loves this book. She stares and/or coos at the pictures. It even calms her when she is fussy.

A thrilling page-turner!

My baby couldn't put it down! Literally! I've bought a lot of picture books for my 5-month-old, such as "White on Black" and "Black on White." He likes them all, but his favorite was always "Look! Look!" by Peter Linenthal. Whenever I would get that book out, my boy would kick frantically with anticipation and stare raptly at each picture. Of course, when I found out there was a new Linenthal book, I had to get it. As soon as he first saw the cover of the book, my normally self-contained baby became nearly hysterical with excitement. I could barely read it because he was grabbing at the pages, kicking, and squealing. I hastily concluded my storytime when my son forcefully wrenched the book away from me and jammed the spine into his mouth for a more all-encompassing literary experience. Linenthal's images are high-contrast black and white, with bold graphic lines, many circles and spirals, and frequent mirror images. My baby finds his art eye-poppingly enthralling and worth returning to again and again. Or, as my son puts it, "aaaaiiiiEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" (Translation: "5 stars! A treat for the eye *and* the palate!")
