Black on White: A High Contrast Book For Newborns Board book – Illustrated, 10 July 2008

This book is amazing for newborns. When my son arrived 10 years ago I had completely forgotten about things to keep him entertained and a friend bought us a copy of this. My son "read" it from day one. It was amazing to watch his eyes scan over the images and make sense. He particularly liked the butterfly. I have since bought it for each of my friends as newborn gifts and they have all commented on how amazed they were that their babies "read" the book. These are newborn books as babies see very differently for the first few months and need this high contrast. reading some of the poor reviews given below I think they have probably been bought for older babies and therefore are not suitable at all.

Brought by mistake as my 4 year old loves asking for micheal Jackson's black or white on the echo and one day this turned up. Luckily we have a baby and she appears to love it.

Our LO loves it! Really handy first book. She's now 8months old and still enjoying reading it.

This is an excellent series of books. They show high-contrast images of common-place products that a baby encounters. Bottle, apple, banana etc. One book as 12 photos. Its worth its money, as the baby remains engrossed in these books for weeks.

Our son loves it!!! He is so happy to look at the objects and...put the pages in his mouth :-))Thx. Highly recommend.

My baby spent hours looking at the pictures on this book as soon as he was a few weeks old. Surprisingly enough there are pictures he likes more than others. This is a great book, buy it for your little one as when they are very young they only see sharp contrasts like black and white. Later on you can teach them what the shapes represent.

I bought white on black and black on white. My baby was never interested in either. I don't blame her, they're not very interesting. She prefered the black and white jazz print that we have hanging in our living room. Save your pennies, it's not long til they can see colours anyway. If you want something black and white I recommend a cot book. We had one that was black, white and yellow. It was a big hit and great for entertainment on the changing mat or in the pramI'd give this book no stars if I could...

I dislike childrens books which seen to have no thought put into them, and aside from being high contrast to appeal to infants I could not perceive anything "considered" about this book. Compared with high-contrast mobiles I purchased which had interesting shapes and faces on them, this book just seems lame.The shapes are not thematically related in any way. Many of them are simplistic and unappealing. I would have preferred more symmetrical and complex images like the butterfly, which my son liked best, instead of the pathetic attempts at household objects, such as the odd looking silouhette of keys.

Great baby gifts. Newborns only see in black and white and high contrast for their first few months, so these books are great to flip through with them. It's never too early to start reading to kids.

Sono insegnate in una scuola materna, i bambini si divertono molto con questo libro

My kid loved it.

Tiene 10 páginas/dibujos, por si alguien quiere saber, ya que no consta aquí esa información. Lo compré para mi peque de 1 mes y medio, para estimulación temprana y le gustó bastante. Para, presta atención y mira los dibujos. El material del libro es de buena calidad, las hojas son gruesas, de cartón. Parece ser resistente.

My baby and I look at these books as visual training exercises and word relationships. She is almost 3 months old now and this book can keep her attention the whole way through which is impressive. I have the other book as well (Black and White fold out book). I'm happy with it as well.
