Energizing Book For babies
354481
Initially I was looking for books with children of color as the main characters, and where the story wasn't revolving around the child being of color.  This book fit that need very well. It is purely a story for very young babies or early readers about a little girl spending her summer day making dances for every occasion. Very cute for my little baby girl, especially when we read it in a sing song manner.  She loves it and it will be a great book for her when she is starting to read on her own!

My daughter is just about 6 months old and still isn't really into books yet, but this is the first book I have managed to get her to show some interest in.  I bought it because I found out that babies like to look at pictures of other babies, so I thought it would be a good choice.  I like that it's short and not "wordy" (there are only two words on every other page, like "red bow" or "Orange flower"), since my little one doesn't have much of an attention span yet.  I think that this would be a good first book for your baby for that reason.  The pictures are also very sweet.

This is one of the first books our little guy, around 6 months old, got interested in. Its combination of colorful pages--extra simple on black backgrounds so they really pop out--and sliding pages made it fascinating for him. Now that he's older, he loves to pull the sliding pages himself. We've moved on to every slide-and-seek book now, but the Colors book is still his favorite. It's basic, sure, but babies love it and I highly recommend it for your littlest little ones.

Very nice book, I read this to my 11 week old son while breastfeeding to help stimulate his brain while passing the time and love seeing his eyes get big when reading certain rhymes.

We love this book! My three year old is mesmerized by the pictures which keep him listening along to the confidence-boosting words. Weve had the book just a few days and he already quotes pieces of it when were playing or doing activities. A great addition to any bookshelf!

Very simple book, but can be very exciting to little ones if read interactively ! My baby especially loves the climactic ending lol and I love that she's getting a head start on science!

I bought this book for my newborn because I wanted her to grow up loving to read. When she was a few months old, she loved to chew on the soft cloth pages and stare at the brightly colored pictures. Then she learned how to turn the pages. Now at 10 months, she still loves to touch the 3-D part of each page and hear me read the simple rhymes.

We love all of the different objects and textures that she can touch and explore on each page:
1) Fluffy yellow chick
2) Red velvety rooster comb
3) Soft white terry cloth duck
4) Wooly sheep
5) Black felt horse mane
6) Squishy orange vinyl cow mouth & nose
7) White vinyl goat horns
8) Curly pink pig tail
9) White satin duck wing

This crinkly cloth book is easy for babies to hold and great for teething. It also keeps little hands busy during car rides. Although the manufacturer recommends surface cleaning only, I've successfully washed mine inside a mesh lingerie bag on the gentle cycle. And it still looks new...

Came in on time for my daughter's Christmas gift. It has very colorful and fun illustrations. Although my daughter is only 6 month old, she enjoys reading it with me. It's a card-board (thick) book and infant friendly.  Therefore, she likes to flip the pages with her little hands. I bought 2 of this book and gave one to my friend who has a one year old boy. He also like it.

Considering how well known a fact it is that infants are most intrigued by black and white objects and pictures, we had the hardest time finding many books that offered them.  We were very pleased to find this book on Amazon.  We ordered it when our son was 4 weeks old, and he's very drawn to the pages.  It is great to see which animals peak his interest and as he has grown (10 weeks now), it still entertains him.  You can tell it is stimulating because his expressions totally change with each new page.

This is a great addition to your infant's library.

We received this book as a shower gift, and despite the overwhelming negative reviews, I really love this book for our daughter. The age range states preschool and up, however I introduced this to her as early as 3 months - and initially she had no interest in touching or feeling the book and the contents of its pages, rather she'd just look as I made the animal noises. Around 6-7 months she really started taking an interest in it as she began sitting up and now she loves not only working at turning the pages on her own, but also using one finger to gently feel the changes in texture. Several others claim that the "touch & feel" areas are too small - however in my opinion, these smaller areas are great for small babies who are learning to pinch and point at things. Our daughter is still well under a year old and will use one finger to locate the touch and feel area which is great for developing her motor skills. These little books are super durable for babies who like to teethe on the corners, and roll or crawl over the book if it's laying open on the floor. This will make a great addition to anyone who's starting a new book collection for their little one!

My 3 month old LOVES these books. The babies in the pictures are fun for him to look at. He will listen to the story from start to finish. We started reading this book to him when he was just 3 weeks old and it has held his attention from the start. I even learned something new! The pictures are colorful and the content is well written, I can't wait to add activities to support the text when he gets older.

This is a great book that has a gentle and calming tone.  Good to read to little ones when they get worked up and need a few minutes of down time.

When our son was born we were searching for ways to stimulate him while he was still a very young newborn.  We also wanted to start reading to him as early as possible.  This book, and the similar book "Black on White," fit the bill perfectly.

We showed this book to our son when he was 1-2 months old.  We "read" it to him by describing and talking about the pictures.  It was a great way to interact with him and to add a little variety.

It is key to talk to babies, but as everyone knows it can be difficult to keep finding topics for your one way conversation...especially when you are sleep deprived!  This book really helps.

This book is so great for babies because not only does it offer both black and white images and color, but the accordion fold allows them to hold the book without worrying about turning pages.  My baby is now 8 months old and has adored this book since the first few weeks.  She is also very attracted to the picture of George and the little pics of babies on the back.  I am now ordering her a book of baby faces since she is so interested.  A perfect shower gift!
