Jane Fosters Baby's First Stories Board Book

A perfectly pitched first story collection for older babies.  Featuring an adorable elephant, panda, whale and bunny, these short, read-aloud tales use high-contrast black-and-white artwork with bold pops of blue, red and yellow to match your baby’s developing eyesight. Created with guidance from Early Years expert Lizzie Noble, each story includes gentle prompts—tickle panda’s tummy, spot little details, answer simple questions—to encourage interaction and early communication.

Beautifully illustrated by award-winning designer Jane Foster and written by picture-book rising star Lily Murray, these just-right stories fit easily into your day and help make shared reading a happy habit.
