 Hello Bugs Board Book |
 Big Book Of Beautiful Babies |
The baby shapes books were a favourite with our children from birth. As stated by the publisher, ‘Baby Shapes one and two, use very simple (through to more complex) bold graphic shapes. Baby Shapes three consists of a range of faces and facial expressions. New babies may copy some of the expressions. Baby Shapes four develops the graphics theme, introducing simple everyday objects such as a cat and a dog. The books bring the parents and their new baby together in a shared visual experience, nurturing the important beginnings of reading and turning the pages of a book’.

If you want to encourage a love of reading in your children, you really can’t start too early. It helps if you choose books that stimulate your baby and books that are age appropriate for your baby. The best books for newborn babies are hardboard or cloth books with simple bright pictures. Babies seem to be attracted to high contrast pictures which is one of the reasons that black and white baby books are such a good idea.
It is not just the pictures that are important to babies. When you read a book to your baby or talk to them about the pictures, they are listening to the sound of your voice which will have a soothing effect. This is also a good way of bonding with your baby.
