black + white

Black and white board books? I'm in. They are the perfect distraction for newborn "tummy time." Newborns need tummy time, can only see in black and white {is that true?} and can't see very far. Prop some of these up in front of them and {hopefully} they'll love it.

  4. Tana Hoban has created so many great books! She is a legend in children's publishing.
    Another fun "high contrast" book that I love to read during storytime at my library is "It Looked Like Spilt Milk" by Charles G. Shaw.
