Book Reviews of White on Black
Book Review: Shame on Tana Hoban
Summary: 1 Stars
Since it's not difficult to come up with baby-themed black and white images, I have to conclude that Tana's only out to make a buck, selling her 7 (count 'em 7) image picture book for 7 bucks. Could she spare the content or what? The fun lasts about 5 seconds. This book should not be recommended in "Bright From the Start", it's a pure waste of time and money. Many higher quality black and white picture books are available from other authors - so hold out for one with some content not just 2 covers. And Tana...I'd like my 7 bucks back.
Summary of White on Black
Share these familiar shapes with your baby. It is never too early to look and talk together!It's never too early to start kids reading. Even in infancy, young eyes can begin to make connections between images on a page and the real thing. White on Black is an ideal first book, and one that will continue to fascinate the very youngest readers as they grow. Exquisitely simple, solid white pictures of everyday objects--a banana, a duck, a bottle--against a black background provide high contrast for developing eyes. This wordless picture book encourages caregivers to engage the child as they "read" together: "Oh look, a boat, that looks like your bath toy, doesn't it?"
With White on Black's companion book, Black on White, Tana Hoban has created a striking pair of visual tools to increase the youngest readers' burgeoning powers of perception. In this complex world, it's a joy to find a book that sees the world in the simplest of terms. (Baby to Preschool) --Emilie Coulter
