Customer Reviews

a classic

This is one of those dramatic black-and-white board books that stimulate neurological development in infants. My granddaughter is no exception - she's always fascinated by this book, which we look at several times a week, along with others.

Good for newborns

My son was completely fascinated with this book from about 1-4 months. He's 10 months now and still flips through it (I think because he loves animal books) occasionally.

A good book for infants

Babies generally like two kinds of books: ones with photos of other babies and animals, and ones with solid black on white illustrations. I experienced my own frustrations in trying to get my infant daughter interested in books with bright colorful illustrations, and she just didn't perceive them as something worth looking at. But then I remembered what I had been told years before in a children's bookstore, and when I switched to the two categories above, she got very excited. This is a sweet little collection of black animal shapes on white backgrounds, with no text at all. It's a good book for a few months, but as soon as your child gets past this stage, it quickly will get put in storage (until the next one comes along, or for the next baby shower gift).
