The bestselling high-contrast books for babies!

What's going on, zebra? Quack quack, baby duck. Hola, baby owl!

When babies are first born, they can't distinguish between colors the same way that older babies can. But studies show that babies can see high-contrast black-and-white shapes and patterns from the very first days of life, and this charming introduction to simple objects found around a baby's world, paired with friendly text and bold, basic patterns, provides an important high-contrast experience for young developing eyes.

Using simple greetings like "Hello, baby bunny" and "What's going on, zebra?"" alongside lovely black-and-white art by Julissa Mora, Hello, Baby Animals is the perfect board book for babies just beginning to look around and learn about the world.

  • Printed on sturdy board using nontoxic soy-based inks
  • Great quality and baby safe
  • Real board books, perfect for little hands
  • Round corners for extra safety
  • A great baby shower gift

Also available: Hello, My World; Hello, Ocean Friends; Baby Loves Sports; Hello, Garden Bugs; Booook! A Spooky High-Contrast Book; Hello, Bedtime; Holly Jolly! A High-Contrast Christmas Book; and Hello Night, Hello Day

High-Contrast Books Help Develop Visual Connections

Making connections between images on a page and the real world is an important building block for your baby’s communication skills—and these charming books provide a great high-contrast experience for young developing eyes. Color vision is not fully developed in newborns and many babies have trouble distinguishing colors. Since most babies are attracted to borders and high-contrast patterns and black and white shapes, these books are the perfect way to introduce the little ones to the world.
