100% contrast images (i.e. black/white) have long been recommended as the most visible and attractive option for babies; however, according to the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, it only takes a couple of months for an infant to develop the capability to perceive almost all of the subtle shadings that make our visual world so rich, textured and interesting. This lovely little board book, with padded covers, presents a series of sensitively designed, loosely themed images- mainly utilising black and white, but with subtle touches of colour, text and detail, too. The resulting package is not only visually and tactilely appealing for tinies, but also has much to offer older, vocal pre-readers, who will find a surprising amount to discuss on each page. * Teach Nursery *

As parents, we've all done it. Desperate for our kids to take an interest in reading at a very early age, we've gone out and bought them a book, only for it to be torn to shreds within a matter of minutes. Well, they won't be able to do it with this book. Each of the four pages is two millimetres thick, comfortably strong enough to deter the most destructive-minded youngsters. The 10 illustrations, with one word to accompany each one, are simple, imaginative and clear, and will have your child purring with contentment as he turns the pages. * Worcester News *
