Book Reviews of Black on White
Book Review: Start good reading habits with this book
Summary: 4 Stars
Most adults will be utterly bored and unimpressed with this book. So, why would you want to buy this book? Because babies don't see the world like adults do. Newborns specifically prefer high contrast such as black and white and if introduced at the right time this book will captivate and stimulate your child. Sure, eventually your baby will out grow this book, but it's a great way to introduce reading to your newborn. Just sit with him/her and point at the pictures and either say the names of the objects or make up stories. At this point they just love to hear your voice. When he/she is a little older, just let your baby hold the book and flip through the pages. It's never to early to start reading with your child and this book is a great way to initiate your child into the world of books.Book Review: Perfect book for newborns
Summary: 4 Stars
Who says babies are too young for books? This book (and Ms. Hoban's other similar books)is a shining example that we're never too young to be introduced to books and reading. The bright, crisp, contrasting images are perfect for new babies. My baby loves this book, and will sit entranced for quite a while as we talk about the images we see. My only complaint would be that it is too short! (Of course, so are babies' attention spans) I think this book is a great baby shower or 'new baby' present. Their first book, what could be a better gift?Book Review: Good but could even be better
Summary: 4 Stars
My baby quickly lost interest in this book after a few viewings. I say viewing because it's all pictures in black and white (thus the title). Some are very intricate and others less so. There weren't that many images, I wished it had more so my baby could enjoy it longer.Book Review: My daughter loves it!
Summary: 4 Stars
I usually will put this book in the corner of her play yard and more often than not she ends up staring at the pictures. She also likes to chew on the corners!Book Review: Good, but not our favorite black and white book
Summary: 3 Stars
This is one of several black and white books that we got before our first baby was born. He definitely did like the black and white books more than other books for the first several months, and this one was fine. However, I usually chose other books because I wasn't totally sure what one of the pictures in this book was supposed to be (Ritz crackers? Flowers without stems???) Also, the pictures are all completely unrelated to each other, so it may be hard to find things to say to your baby about them if you're not someone who can easily make conversation about anything! If I could only get one black and white book, I'd definitely go with Look, Look! by Peter Linenthal, as the baby was most fascinated by the pictures in that one, and it had a simple text (this book has no words) that helped me come up with stuff to say about each page.
