Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
Babies love to look at other babies' faces, especially at this age, and we have always included a baby face book in the collection for this reason.
Activities
In addition to great baby faces, this book is a wonderful introduction to color. Not only is the page a solid color, but the baby pictured is wearing something of that same color. As you are reading, you can point out these colors to your child. You might also point to the different colors that your own child is wearing. Of course, your child will not know his colors yet, but you saying them aloud and pointing to them helps his growing mind start to make connections.

From the 2011 Early Literacy Calendar:
What better way to use your eyes than to focus on colors! The colors in this delightful board book focus on objects other than clothes or the more typical items in a young infant’s world. Purple glasses and a yellow feather boa bring a whimsical twist to the traditional focus on colors. Use this book as a springboard for labeling items in the environment with their color as well as their names and encourage parents to do the same. “I have the red bib for you today.” or “Let’s put on your green jacket before we go outside,” showing the baby the items as you are handling them.
