This is not your run-of-the-mill high-contrast board book! As a parent, it's nice for me to see a baby book that is not just a boring collection of squiggles or random images without context. The black-and-white images are bold and dynamic, depicting racing cars, bouncing balls, and spinning pinwheels. The short, playful sentences and vivid language give parents and caregivers something to say and do while reading with their little ones: The spread with the happy baby doing peek-a-boo practically begs you to do that with your child. Plus there are tips at the back of the book for supporting your baby's development. This was obviously made by experts. It is a great pick for new parents and libraries alike.
Thanks to NetGalley and Free Spirit Publishing for providing an advance copy of this title for review.
