Baby Animals Black and White Phyllis Limbacher Tildes Books Reviews

• This book combines the 2 things that never fail to hold a new baby's interest faces & contrast.
  
  POSITIVES
  -BENEFICIAL. You really can't go wrong buying this as, although it is simple, it mesmerizes babies while stimulating their brain growth.
  -NOT AGE-SPECIFIC. My son is almost 3 months old & continues to enjoy looking through the pictures as I make up stories about each one.
  -STURDY. I appreciate that it's a board book that will withstand use over time. It's also nice to be able to prop the book up for babies to examine during tummy time, etc.
  
  NEGATIVES
  -Would love for this book to have just a few more pages.
  -Upon delivery, one of the pages did have a small crease down the center. Not a big deal & doesn't significantly alter the overall picture, but worth mentioning.
• Newborn baby loved this when I sat it up beside her to look at or "read" to her. She spent hours (over time...) staring at this, and eventually smiling, cooing, and later flipping through herself. Perfect size for a diaper bag/purse. Durable too- my daughter teethed on this for months and it held up to 4 front teeth and a lot of drool.
  Have purchased this for 4 baby gifts and it is always a pleaser. Would recommend to anyone with an infant under 4-6 months. Best price here on as well- triple the price in my local big-brand bookstore.
• My husband thinks the pictures in this book are some CIA mind control for the baby, he stares at them totally hypnotized. I wish there were some words that went with it that I could read to him, but I just kind of make stuff up. The images definitely hold his interest for a while though, he's 4 weeks old and I'm eager to watch him progress with what types of books he likes. I'm glad these exist because I wanted to start him on reading at a young age!
• Baby likes all but last page. The first time she saw it, she was actively engaged, but for repeated use she seems to prefer Erin Balzer's black and white books (those do have a religious lean though, so some may not like that). But my baby definitely likes more variety than I thought she would, so I do recommend getting a few black and white ones. My baby started them at 2 weeks (before she was too sleepy) and is now 1 month. We only really look at 1 a day, but she is focused throughout the entire book. The only other book she has that attention for the pictures (besides these black and white ones) is a song book, Jesus Loves Me with illustrations by Tim Warnes. I don't know why since those are in color. She will listen to other books and look at me engaged if she does not like/see the pictures. I also recommend Goodnight Moon. I was surprised to see that she had the attention span to listen to the book, but she only likes the black and white pictures.
  
  I love Phyllis Limbacher Tildes' art, but I don't like the last pages of the black and white books either. It is a picture of a baby looking at a mobile. It is just okay. I do think it's worth it to see her light up like she just saw the most amazing thing, I just wish the last page was more black and white animals.
• The best few dollars I've ever spent! I bought this for my son when he was just a few weeks old. Those first few weeks are rough, since newborns can't really focus their eyes on much. Once he was able to start focusing on things, he really enjoyed this book!
  
  No, there aren't any words in it, and it is only 10 pages, and 8 are animal faces. They aren't super simple images compared to the Look Look book. They are a bit more detailed.
  
  I liked setting up the book in his pack n play so he could look at it. And I'd also flip through the pages for him and tell him what the animals are, or make animal sounds for him.
• I bought this for my two month-old baby and she is enthralled by this book! The images are awesome and she seriously perks up so much when I show her the pages. Her little feet get kicking like crazy and her eyes get big. I love that it's a board book. It makes it more durable and packable since we bring it with us often. I would definitely recommend this!
• I bought this book before my daughter was born because I know babies love black and white pics at an early age. We have a Dalmatian so she loves the cover. She is 18 months and still loves this book. Now I say, what sound does this animal make? And she says "baa" for the sheep pic. Too cute!! Glad I bought it!!
• Cheap......
  I bought this black and white book on the assumption that it would be the high quality of the two books by Smriti Prasdan....Hello Animals and Hello Bugs. This book is so flimsy that I cannot give it to an infant. The front cover is so thin that it is bent.....printed in China. Am going to throw book in trash.
