Was a super cute little children’s book. 🥰 I have two daughters with autism and one-year-old son who has a high likelihood of also having it. He hasn’t shown too much interest in books yet other than to play bang bang with them or to try and rip the pages. Having a digital copy was a lovely compromise. He was quite fascinated with the colour contrast and seemed to really enjoy it. All of my kiddos so far seem to have a shortish attention span which will hopefully grow with age. AsI love to read I do my best to share my love of reading with them from a young age, and being a stay at home mom who homeschools life can sometimes be hectic. This was a lovely short little read that was both time efficient for me and enjoyable. 5✨.

Baby Sees Things That Go, written by Janna Steagall, is a great short board book, perfect for the littlest readers! I loved the simple text and images, and feel that this could be calming for children. Also love that it will be published as a board book, and that it can handle being held by young readers. I can definitely see this being a favorite! Thank you to NetGalley and to the author and publisher of this book for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Recommended for ages: 0 to 1

My newborn LOVED this book, especially the motorcycle and rocket page (I think it was the flag patterns)—which is to say she stared at it for a long time—which is to say there is no greater compliment for a book aimed at readers of this age.

Baby Sees Things That Go will be published June 3, 2025.

Thank you to NetGalley, Familius, and Janna Steagall for this free, advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

High contrast drawings with a simple font perfect for babies, I actually like more this one than the other I've reviewed of this author because the colors fit perfectly with the theme.

This is perfect. The art for this is great and I like that it still uses words that can be read to the baby. I would've bought this for my kiddo when he was born for sure.

I love these high contrast books that give kids and caregivers something to look at

The high contrast monochrome illustrations are beautiful and eye catching. I just think there could be a bit more variance in the things illustrated to keep babies engaged.

Thank you to NetGalley, Familius, and Janna Steagall for the opportunity to read the eARC of this children's book.

A big, big thank you to Janna Steagall, Familius, and NetGalley for the opportunity to check out a digital version of Baby Sees Things That Go (Board Book). I will share my review to Amazon, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble upon release. This is a very cute high contrast black and white board book for infants/newborns, babies, and toddlers. The pictures show different forms of transportation and methods of travel, like a train, helicopter, etc. Babies will be super intrigued by the high contrast art and be drawn to the strong, bold lines. The pictures will definitely be a great starting point for fun discussions about things that go with a little one. This would make for a great gift for baby shower or early gift for a child. It would make a great addition to their toys and bookshelf. And as they grow older, the vocabulary they can learn by identifying the pictures and words will be helpful. I will definitely look for this book when I'm buying gifts in the future for friends or family who are welcoming a child into the world. Thanks again!

My introduction to this creator was (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7407628237) – a look at mythical beasts for the far-too-young-and-impressionable. This looks at vehicles instead, and all are in strong contrast – one time white on black, the next black on white, one time singular, the next in plural. It's for people who need to get used to holding books in tiny hands and using them themselves, and book use at this crucial point in life is only to be recommended. It's also for people who like their kids to have a real-world, more grounded aspect of life in their picture books – although the helicopters and rockets here are definitely up in the air and not grounded, if you see what I mean.

Moving things for baby

I found this to be a fast and fun book even for the adult to read aloud to the baby.

The illustrations capture key moving things from boats to rockets.

This book would make a cute addition to a baby shower gift.

I love this board book series of high contrast images for babies. This features "things that go" with a variety of transport vehicles.

Cute and high contrast functional for newborns and young babies. Font choice gives it a bit more modern feel. Each page focuses on one vehicle. On the alternate page it shows high contrast imagery of the vehicle. Some pages have multiple examples of what said vehicle may look like, while others are the same image repeated. I prefer the pages with more variability as it was more engaging to older toddler siblings reading along with baby.

Thank you to NG and Familius for the advanced copy.

This book is cute! Would be great gift for a baby shower and would match a car themed nursery perfectly. I like the simple nature of the book!

This is a very cute, high-contrast black and white board book for babies. It features multiple vehicles. Great for young babies!

My six year old LOVED reading this to our baby. The images were easy to recognize, and I loved that despite being a board book focused on young babies, both my kids enjoyed it. I also liked that each page had inverse images of the vehicles.

Adorable high contrast baby book about transportation. Perfect for any little curious bookworm to have exposure to vehicles. Never too early to read to a baby or have them practice holding a book.

Contrary to my review of another book in this series, I appreciated the lack of color in this one! There isn't a whole lot of fresh color that one can add to planes, trains, and automobiles, so the illustrator of this book went simple and succeeded in making a more unique and less boring book for little ones. Additionally, every page made a lot of sense, even the things that one doesn't usually think about "going" (i.e. rocket ship). This allowed the book to have more depth rather than just scratching the surface. The bottom line: this book could have been highly cliche and boring, but the creators of this book brought a special kind of "freshness" to the table and achieved their goal of educating babies. Bravo!!

Thank you for the ARC. Black and white books are the new thing for babies. Black and white images are beneficial for babies because their underdeveloped vision can only see high-contrast patterns clearly, stimulating their visual development and helping them focus and track images more easily. This was something simply and would be visually appealing to a baby who is developing.
