3.0 out of 5 stars "Hello, Bugs!" is way better. July 22, 2012
By L
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book as a gift for my cousin and I have the other book, "Hello, Bugs!" and the bug book is much better. I didn't find this book as appealing and my 18 month old son didn't find it very interesting either. He loves the bug book though. Both books have bright colors and raise bumps to feel a different pattern whether it's stripes or spots. The bug books bumps, colors and textures make more sense to what object they chose to do this with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the inbetween stage November 7, 2011
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book based on the reviews and because my son was just starting to look at other things aside from me and my hubbie and the skylight. He immediately loved looking at the black and white animals and it worked out perfectly, just for a VERY short time. Within a week he wanted to look at brightly colored items and moved past the B&W stage, so if you are interested in this then I would buy it pretty early so you can get some good use out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Excellent Construction May 26, 2012
By Janell
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my favorite book to read with my 2-month old. The images capture his attention and they give me quite a bit to talk to him about. I'm quite appreciative the author includes onomatopoeia for each animal as I have no idea what sound a giraffe makes and slip and slurp are sufficient subsitutes.

The construction quality of the board book is amazing compared to others of a similar price point. The black ink is quite black and the pages are incredibly durable. I'll be purchasing more books from this publisher based on quality of the book alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great from the beginning - bought this with Hello Bugs.
Simple, cheerful images for your baby to look at. Black and white images are best for babies to "read" because they help condition their young eyes to read.
