Summary: Cute but not exactly what I was looking for
Review: I love Todd Parr's work - it's clever and colorful. Still, this particular book isn't what I hoped. I was looking for something high-contrast for my 1-month-old to enjoy. While the illustrations are indeed black and white, they're often on dark blue backgrounds or other low-contrast colors, so this book isn't for newborns. I think in a month or two it will be fun to go through the book with the baby and point at the pictures, but I'm not sure long-term how much it will keep him entertained, as there's only one word on each page and not a lot to discuss about each picture. Some of Parr's other books have more opportunity to spark interaction beyond the simple pictures and text.

Summary: Visual Stimulation for Infants
Review: This is a great book to share with even the tiniest readers. The greater the contrast, the more an infant's eyes are going to be drawn to a pattern. Therefore black and white captures their attention the best. I've been reading this book to my baby since he was just 6 weeks old, and he continues to love it at 6 months. Of course, now he mostly loves to eat it!
