Look at Baby's House Board book – October 16, 2008

I read the benefits of black &white contrast images for newborns and thought I'd give this book a try. It's a sturdy book and perfect size. Images are nice and my 12 week old is very captivated by it!

My baby LOVED "Look Look!," which we received as a hand-me-down. So, we bought the other three books in the series. I don't know what it is, but he just loves these books, much more than his other B&W books. He cracks up when he sees that smiling sun. I like that this book shows everyday items/occurrences around the house.

I got this book for my 3 month old baby and she really seems to enjoy it. She pays attention at all the pictures when I show it to her. Overall a must for baby’s learning skills.

This board book is sturdy! The perfect book for a newborn. The high contrasting black and white pictures keep babies attention. My daughter liked to look at the pictures in this book from the first week of life, and she still looks at them and she is 5 months. It was a good book to use for tummy time. At first laying it down so she could see it as a newborn and then stood up as she began to raise her head during tummy time. Even now as a 5 month old it holds up to teething drool and momma's disinfectant wipes. If you don't know what to get someone for a new baby this book would be perfect!

My baby has loved the black and white pictures in this book since she was about a month old. She is now 4 months and this book is still one of her favorites. The words and pictures are simple enough to hold her interest. The book is also a good length for a baby's short attention span.I added braille labels with picture descriptions to each page of this book. My husband and I are both blind, but our baby daughter can see. The labels enable us to know what is in each picture so that we can talk with our daughter about what she is seeing in the book. We do this a lot with board books so that we can make a better reading experience for our baby. The pictures in this book were just simple enough that it didn't require much description-writing.

I have 3 of this authors books and my son and I like reading them all. In general the author uses good contrasting images, reversed coloring, and familiar concepts. Good black and white choices.

My 2 month old loves starting at the illustrations in this book. Her eyes devour each page as she seemingly can not get enough! I was forced into purchasing the other books by Mr. Linenthal To provide more images to my lovely daughter. Well worth every cent as it brings joy, to my wife and myself, watching her eyes light up when she gets swallowed into these Images.

Love this series of board books for my baby! They capture an infant’s focus very easily with the contrasting colors and simple pictures and words. I would recommend them to any parent - these books are the perfect baby shower gift to add to baby’s book collection.

Our baby has been captivated by this book since before 2months age. She will stare and stare at it. If she is fussy/ bored and I out the book in front of her she stops and gets big eyes and trys to touch the pictures. Highly recommend.

Auf der Suche nach Babys ersten Bilderbuch, bin ich auf die Schwarzweißbilderbücher von Peter Linenthal aufmerksam geworden. Ich wollte ein Buch mit einfachen Bildern alltäglicher Gegenstände aus Babys Welt. Die meisten Bücher waren mir zu überladen und in Angesicht der Tatsache, dass Babys in den ersten Monaten auf starke Kontraste reagieren, suchte ich ein Buch mit Schwarzweißbildern.Alle vier Bücher dieser Reihe sind sowohl von der Größe als auch von den Motiven einfach perfekt für sehr junge Babys.Schon mit einem Monat reagierte unser Sohn auf die Bilder und konnte sich daran nicht satt sehen. Auch jetzt,ein halbes Jahr später, sind sie noch immer interressant für ihn und gehören zu seinen Favoriten.Der Text ist auf Englisch, was aber nicht weiter stört. Entweder erfindet man seinen eigenen Text oder übersetzt ihn, was aufgrund der Einfachheit der Texte kein allzu großes Problem darstellen sollte. Zudem ist es sehr einfach, etwas zu den Motiven zu erzählen, da sie so alltagsbezogen sind.Die dicken Pappseiten sind robust, wie man es von Pappbilderbüchern gewohnt ist und halten den ersten Kauversuchen stand.Wir sind mit diesem- und den anderen drei Büchern dieser Reihe- sehr zufrieden und können sie uneingeschränkt insbesondere als erstes Buch fürs Baby empfehlen.

It was short and had about 10 words in the whole book. Can’t believe I paid for this! A joke!

Great description of a baby's day

I have purchased all the black and white baby books from this author and have subsequently purchased as gifts. Love size, high contrast pictures. Despite it's very simple story I am not sick of reading them like some of my toddler's books! :)
