Baby books books

You’re never too young to enjoy a good book!

Books for babies are an important first step in a child’s development. As well as introducing first concepts such as letters, numbers, colours and shapes, baby books also aid in language and comprehension skills, and help develop baby’s concentration. Just as importantly, reading together with your baby helps develop a close, loving bond, and teaches your baby early about the value of books.

Board books are perfect for babies, designed to be sturdy and robust enough to withstand the attentions of a curious baby. An interactive element, such as tabs to lift, noise buttons to press or different textures to feel, add another level of sensory engagement and help improve hand-eye coordination. Fiona Watt’s That’s Not My… series of board books covers everything from vehicles to animals and mythical creatures, with each page featuring a different touchy feely texture for little hands to explore.

Classic books for babies such as Dear Zoo, The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Guess How Much I Love You continue to delight young and old with their heartfelt illustrations and simple yet informative text, while more modern characters such as Hey Duggee, Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig offer colourful adventures, of both the extraordinary and the everyday variety.

With rhythmic, rhyming text, nursery rhyme books are the perfect way to help babies wind down before bedtime, and are simple enough for older babies and toddlers to memorise and join in with. And for the perfect gift for a baby, look no further than a beautiful box set that will captivate and entertain for many months to come.
