Description
A wordless concertina board book of big, bright faces to place around the baby on the floor at tummy time-family faces on one side and toys on the other-by award-winning author/illustrator Gavin Bishop.
This safe and sturdy fold-out book is a perfect gift, with compelling illustrations of the things babies love. Friendly faces from the whole family combine with familiar toys and objects, drawn in bold lines with a striking minimalist color palette.
Tummy time helps to strengthen a baby's back, neck, and shoulders. The strong, simple images stimulate developing eyesight, allowing babies to see things up close and from a different point of view.
The images are perfect for introducing first words and concepts as baby grows, with 12 family faces-including the dog-and 12 objects that babies love to hold and explore-soft toys, ball, keys, an enticing pair of spectacles and more.
