Booook! a Spooky High-Contrast Book: A High-Contrast Board Book That Helps Visual Development in Newborns and Babies While Celebrating Halloween

Good to see you, pumpkin. Boooo, little ghost. Hoot, hoot, eerie owl.

Making connections between images on a page and the real world is an important building block for your baby's communication skills--and this charming introduction to a lineup of not-scary Halloween characters, paired with friendly text and bold, basic patterns, provides an important high-contrast experience for young developing eyes.

Using simple greetings like "What's happening, scary bat?" and, "Looking spooky, Mr. Zombie" alongside lovely black-and-white art by Jannie Ho, Booook! A Spooky High-Contrast Book is a perfect book for babies just beginning to learn about their world.

Why Black & White?

• Exposing babies to contrasting images has a positive impact on the development of visual-spatial skills and recognizing new objects.
• When babies are first born, they can't distinguish between colors the same way that older babies can. But studies show that babies can see high-contrast black-and-white shapes and patterns from the very first days of life.

Also available: Hello, Baby Animals; Hello, My World; Hello, Ocean Friends; and Hello, Garden Bugs.
