White on Black: A High Contrast Book For Newborns Board book – Illustrated, 10 Jun. 2008

I had read that babies first react to black and white images, so I bought this book. Baby loved it right from birth. He would look at the images for ages, and developed his favourite page. I'm convinced it has helped his development, he's a bright boy and keen to learn.

Daughter loved it

Lovely book....Lovely pictures Baby loves it

I clearly didn't need to buy three separate books, Black & White in one book should be enough, more pages would be better though. Some images are repeated from book to book. Great idea, but a little disappointing, would be better value if all three books I bought were sold in one pack for say, £8.99

Same as the black on white I think this item is brilliant for babies as they only see sharp contrasts. I remember reading a review of someone saying that his baby was breastfed and had no concept of what a bottle was and as there is a picture of a bottle it was useless. I would like to say that babies have no concept of what a bottle is anyway and they have no concept of what a teddy is or a button so this comment was totally useless to me. The images a simple and easy to see, my baby who is breastfed too loves it nonetheless.

We've had this book since by daughter was born 9 weeks ago. She's been drawn to the images ever since and we've noticed she especially loves the pages with buttons and the flower.I think that by alternating on which side of her baby gym we placed the book, open for her to gaze at, she's been encouraged to look at objects on both sides (as many babies tend to favour one side of their head more than the other).We bought this alongside the 'faces' first book. Both have been excellent so far. I'm hoping she'll use the books to turn the pages once she gets a little more control over her hands!Defintely a worthwhile first book,

I bought this book and Faces(Baby's First Book) when my little girl was about 9 weeks old. The book contains pictures of a bottle, horse, sail boat, duck, buttons, beads, bird and a flower. Of the two books this one was only looked at occassionally by my little girl (even though it was in her cot all the time) and as the book is shiny and a hard back, now that she is grabbing for things at 18 weeks old this book is not of much interest to her. If you are looking for a book for a very young baby (up to about 17 weeks) then get a black and white book, but I would recommend the Faces book as this was the one that she liked the best and as it is cloth she is using it to develop her hand coordination skills.

see my review on black on white. This is a boring book that never held any interest for my baby. A waste of money

Meu filho amava os livros dela até os 3 meses

Naturalmente il bianco/nero sono i colori in contrasto per eccellenza. Catturano subito lo sguardo delle mie nipotine di pochi mesi. Interessante sfogliare il libro con loro descrivendo cosa vi è rappresentato. Ottima la consistenza e la rigidità delle pagine, facilmente punibile.

Fantastic first book for that age when a baby’s visual processing is just starting to come together. Used it through transition to toddlerhood, when baby actually started to recognize real world objects in the silhouettes! I prefer this book much more than the opposite title black on white... for some reason this one seemed more salient. This was easily our favorite book from this age.

Lo compré para mis bebés cuando tenían tres meses y la verdad es que fue un acierto. Se quedaban mirando las imágenes fijamente. Me gustó mucho

A great book for baby...Easy and simple images...That they really enjoy itWith strong pages so then is easy to hold it and read it.
