'Look at these enormous eyes!
Someone's had a big surprise!
What a cheeky face is here
This one smiles from ear to ear.'

Say 'hello' to the funny faces in this beautifully-designed baby book. The high-contrast images are designed for babies' eyesight. The lino-cut artwork is stylish and attractive, encouraging young readers to develop an interest in books and reading at a pre-literate level.

Spot colour on the spreads and a mirror at the end add further fun for babies. Talking about the pictures helps to familiarise babies with patterns of speech. Talking and listening go together and help lay the foundations for language development.
