A Bank Street Center for Children's Literature Best Book of the
Year 2023.
"A fold-out board book designed for infant tummy time or reading
with a caregiver. Bold images and a simple palette make for a
baby-friendly book. Each page is labeled with a simple word (cat,
car, teddy, train) that might be familiar or of interest to little
ones, accompanied by a simple, pared-down image and rhyming text.
Bouncy, repetitive verse includes references to sounds ("beep
beep!" "chugga-chugga"). On one page, there's a mirror, and the
text leaves blank spots for caregivers to insert a child's name ("I
see _____ / _____ sees me!")--a nice touch, especially given that
mirrors are high-interest objects for babies. Besides black and
white, the only other colors used in the book are green, yellow,
red, and blue, no shades or variations, a fitting palette for
infants. Unlike similar board books, this one does more than simply
label images. The words are fun to say and hear, encouraging
listening and learning, an important step for babies as they
acquire language. The fold-out feature makes the title multipurpose
and playful and allows for touching and manipulating as the baby
grows older. Will help cultivate meaningful first reading
experiences. (Board book. 0-1) -Kirkus Reviews ". . . a delightful
first words book for babies. . . a lovely book to share with a
baby, giving precious bonding and cuddle time. It enables
conversations, even in baby talk!" -Book Trust
A sister publication to Tummy Time!: A high-contrast fold-out book
with mirror for babies and Playtime! A tummy time play book for
babies.
