Invites young readers to identify pictures of animals. In this wordless book, the bold outlines of animals are placed on black, white, or red pages to capture your baby's attention.
Your little one is just getting used to the world around them. That includes getting to know YOU in a new way! Up until now, your baby has only heard your voice. Your voice is the most important thing in their world right now. Singing and talking to them as you soothe them reinforces that connection. Reading simple books, even though they don’t understand them, gives you another way of sharing your connection. As their vision develops, they will be increasingly drawn to faces. When you talk with them, putting your face within 12 inches of theirs will help them connect your face to the sound that they already love!
Why did we select this book?
Your baby's eyes are not fully developed yet and so they see high-contrast things best. The best contrast is a simple black object on a white background or vice versa. We selected this book because it may attract your baby's attention in a way that books with more complicated illustrations will not.

There are no words on the pages of this book, but as you turn the pages you can say the names of the animals and even make animal noises. When you do this, your baby builds a connection between the sounds you are making and the shape on the page. They’re learning!
