Circles, squares and triangles arrive here as things to feel as much as things to look at, set into pages built for babies to handle.
Baby Touch: Shapes uses strong patterns and bright colour blocks alongside raised and textured areas, giving an adult an easy way to name a shape while the baby explores it. Each spread stays uncluttered so a single idea can hold attention, and the short wording works well repeated across many sittings. The board format tolerates grabbing, chewing and dropping without coming apart.
What makes it work:
• Basic shapes introduced one clear spread at a time
• Raised and textured areas placed for exploring fingers
• Strong colour blocks and patterns instead of busy artwork
• Sturdy board construction for very young handling
Suited to babies from birth upward and useful as a first-library gift, published by Ladybird Books and offered by Boipoka.
