    Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
    When it comes to newborns, often the bolder the image in front of their eyes the better. What could be bolder than a black image on a white background?

    The Selection Committee chose this title in hopes that parents and caregivers will name the objects on each page for their babies and start to acclimate the child to a book being held in front of them.

    My daughter enjoys this book and the stories and rhymes I make up to accomplany it. Her face lights up when she sees her favorites, espcially the butterfly, flower, and buttons. I had read about this book in a magazine before purchasing it, but was truly surprised by how much she enjoys the book. (2-3 months)
