Scientists tell us that newborn babies first see in black and white. Here is a black-and-white book that everyone can enjoy. Flip the foam-filled pages and one animal face changes to another, from cat to dog, to lamb to mouse, and finally to BABY! Babies will learn to associate the animal sounds with the animals. The soft, die-cut foam makes it easy for babies to grab hold. Older children will relish flipping the pages themselves and observing the transformations of the nine animals included.
