The bestselling high-contrast books for babies!
What’s going on, zebra? Quack quack, baby duck. Hola, baby owl!
When babies are first born, they can’t distinguish between colors the same way that older babies can. But studies show that babies can see high-contrast black-and-white shapes and patterns from the very first days of life, and this charming introduction to simple objects found around a baby’s world, paired with friendly text and bold, basic patterns, provides an important high-contrast experience for young developing eyes.
Using simple greetings like “Hello, baby bunny” and “What’s going on, zebra?”” alongside lovely black-and-white art by Julissa Mora, Hello, Baby Animals is the perfect board book for babies just beginning to look around and learn about the world.

High-Contrast Books Help Develop Visual Connections
Making connections between images on a page and the real world is an important building block for your baby’s communication skills—and these charming books provide a great high-contrast experience for young developing eyes.

Beautiful Baby Book
This beautiful baby book offers help with visual development because of the contrast provided in the imagery. You have multiple options to choose from in this baby book series – I picked baby animals for many children love animals, particularly learning about baby animals as they grow. The book is of superb quality and the gift recipient found it to be particularly thoughtful for its developmental impact. Great offering for building a library for future readers, key on their early development path.

Great way to engage baby
I got this book to read with my newborn twins as I have heard that the high contrast books are good for newborns. The pictures are cute and itâs an easy way to engage with my newborns.

Just the best book ever
I think this was a staple in my babyâs growth and development. Specifically for developing visual skills, My baby got really excited to see the book, The black-and-white contrast is so helpful. Out of all the books, my baby, he liked the animal one the most. I added this to his development at the age of two months. I could see you using this right when the baby is born. I think itâs one of the most important things for your child. My baby is now six months and we still use it time to time.

Great 1st book for newborns
Started showing my baby this book by the time he was 2 weeks old. Now that he is 6 weeks old he focuses and follows the visuals in the book with high interest. I recommend it. His favorite is the âwhatâs up, chickâ page because besides flipping through it I also make the noises the animals might make like in this case I would say âpio pio pioâ like a baby chick haha and now he smiles at it

Llego antes de lo esperado y le gusto mucho a mi bebé que tiene casi 2 meses, lo único es que llegó un poco doblado y desgastado de los bordes, pero aún asà es útil.
