Look, Look, Baby! Playtime

Reading is learning! Even the littlest babies can see and follow high-contrast images, which helps improve their vision and focus. As they get a little bit older, the first colors that babies can discern are red and green. Let your baby explore playtime and familiar toys and activities with beautiful black and white images and exciting pop-ups in this sturdy board book. The unique accordion-style format unfolds to lay flat for a fun tummy time experience! Then use your imagination to help your baby explore each scene-- babies love to listen to their parents voices which improves communication skills.

• High-Contrast Illustrations: Captivating black & white design aids in visual and sensory development in infants, encouraging focus, tracking, and interaction.
• Age-Appropriate: Specifically designed for babies aged 0-6 months as their vision rapidly develops from seeing primarily high-contrast colors to gradually perceiving a broader spectrum of colors, starting with red.
• Accordion Style: Unique fold-out format provides a continuous, immersive experience, ideal for tummy time or crib play.
• Double-Sided Pop-Up Content: Interactive pop-ups on both sides keep babies entertained and curious, promoting sensory exploration.
• Perfect Gift: An excellent baby shower or newborn gift that combines fun with developmental benefits.

Amanda Shufflebotham is a designer and illustrator based in the historic Welsh/English border town of Chepstow, where she lives with her partner and two sons. She was born near Oxford and attended Swindon School of Art and Design in the late 1980s, which led to a career in publishing, design and advertising. In 2004, while her sons were very young, Amanda branched out into freelance work and it was at that point that her approach became more illustrative. Amanda's background in graphics is evident in her design style: bold colours and geometric shapes take centre stage. Her designs have been used for greeting ware in the UK and the US, and in the tourism sector. Amanda now works from her home studio, and when she's not illustrating and designing she is spending time with her family and enjoying her garden. In fact, if Amanda hadn't gone into design she would have like to be a landscape gardener as the shapes and textures of foliage have always enchanted her.Cottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children's books.
