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
