Baby Touch: My First Book

Newborn eyes respond to strong contrast well before they pick out fine detail, and this first board book is built around that simple fact. Baby Touch: My First Book combines high-contrast artwork, plain shapes and textured areas into a title meant to be a baby's earliest experience of a book. The spreads carry very little text, so an adult can talk around the pictures instead of reading a script, and the small format is easy to hold up during tummy time or a feed. Thick board pages and baby-safe materials suit constant handling. A first book explained: • High-contrast pages aimed at very early visual development • Simple shapes with textured areas worked into the artwork • Minimal text so adults can talk freely around the pictures • A compact, hard-wearing board format Made for newborns onward and for anyone starting a baby's shelf, published by Ladybird Books and stocked by Boipoka.
