Book Description | Baby's First Stories presents a unique blend of read-aloud stories and high-contrast visuals, featuring an adorable elephant, panda, whale and bunny. Each story has been created in consultation with Early Years Expert Lizzie Noble, to perfectly suit your baby's needs at every stage in their first year. 9-12 months prompts older babies to interact with the book, tickling panda's tummy and looking for details in the artwork to reflect your baby's ability to spot fine details and respond to basic questions. Jane Foster's black-and-white artwork features bold pops of blue, red and yellow, including hidden details - reflecting your baby's sharpening eyesight. Neither too long, nor too short, each story will easily fit into baby's day, to make reading together a regular activity. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning textile designer Jane Foster, and written by picture book rising-star, Lily Murray.Also available:Baby's First Stories: 0-3 months (published August 2023)Baby's First Stories: 3-6 months (published August 2023)Baby's First Stories: 6-9 months (publishing January 2024) |
