Reading Time is a high-contrast fold-out book that offers parents the opportunity to exercise their baby's body and brain while enjoying some special together time. Like Tummy Time (BookTrust's Book Start Pick for 2021), the book opens out and stands up in front of newborns during the all-important tummy time, a practice encouraged by healthcare professionals because it prevents flat spots on the back of a baby's head, and encourages them to use muscles needed for rolling, sitting and crawling. However, these early months are also when a baby's brain is developing faster than at any other time in their lives. Reading together is proven to accelerate language and literacy, giving children a head start in life. The book has bold black-and-white images with splashes of colour for a baby's developing vision. The images are some of the first words children learn to say, such as cat, car, book and teddy, so it serves as a first words book, but it also has a soothing, rhythmical nursery rhyme based on "I see the moon, the moon sees me" which babies will love to hear their loved ones read. And there is mirror at the end to personalise the shared reading experience - "I see Mummy/Daddy/Grandpa" - as they look in the mirror together. So go on. Read to your newborn. It's good for them! 0 to 9 months, printed on FSC board

'Wishy Washy' takes your young child on an adventure as they learn new words through life-like paintings, bright colours and an animal friend who guides them along the way. This book is more dynamic than other basic first-words or colour books because its pictures and words were strategically chosen to start with early developing phonemes (b,p,m,d,t) and to teach your child words they can easily say or approximate at a very young age (nine months to two years old) like 'puppy' vs 'elephant'. 'Wishy Washy' also provides tips for parents to help them encourage verbal approximations (acceptable substitutes). Plus, this engaging book comes with an attached wooden paintbrush and faux paint palette - a tactile, interactive tool that will provide your child with multi-sensory learning and help them better retain the information on each page.
