5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for young babies August 26, 2011
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner - We give this book to infants birth to 4-6 months of age in our practice as part of Reach out and Read...their eyes light up when they see the pages! The high contrast black and white images, with the sparkle of color is eye catching, and the text is fun for the adults who are sharing the book with their child. The companion book about animals is also great. I was thrilled to find it to buy for our soon to be born grand baby -

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for very young eyes April 8, 2012
By HMAC
Format:Board book
My 4 month old daughter can't take her eyes off the pictures in this book! It's hands down her favorite book because of the black and white pictures with splashes of metallic color. (I would give it a 5 out of 5 if it didn't classify snails and worms as bugs.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and well-executed book! July 20, 2011
Format:Board book
We bought both this book and Wee Gallery Art Cards for our twin daughters. The Art Cards are wonderful, but in the 'high-contrast, simple pictures' category, Hello Bugs wins hands down in our family. Part of the difference is the color accents and part of it is that, well, it's a book and it is easier to read in the same order every time.

It never occurred to us when we bought the book, but two additional things make this book a favorite of our daughters. First, the bugs used in this book show up in many other children's books. In that these are our first kids, we hadn't paid much attention to other children's books, but the reinforcement is wonderful! The other thing that makes this book so great is tied to its simplicity. The words, while by no means profound, lend themselves perfectly to simple, repetitive motions that tie the text and pictures together (for instance, we wiggle them for the caterpillar). In that they both will do the motion we taught them for 'slide glide' (the snail page) when we mention snails, we think they enjoy the book! (oh, and they 'fight' over it, which I suppose is about the best endorsement a children's book can get)

Not as stimulating as other black and white books. The pictures only seems to capture baby's attention for a short while.
