Baby’s Very First Book – Faces

What is it

This is a great stimulating first book from Campbell for babies. It features faces of mummy, daddy and baby as well as different patterns to stimulate the baby’s visual senses. Babies will also love looking at themselves in the mirror on the front, and the soft cloth crinkly pages that make a noise when handled.

Skills Developed

• Babies can start interacting with books and start to explore their visual senses.
• Babies are drawn to high contrast colours and patterns

What our experts think

Babies are drawn to faces and high-contrast colours and patterns from birth, and being exposed to these stimulates their brain and visual senses. They also like to explore their other senses, so a book like Faces by Campbell is great because they can squeeze it, create noise from the crinkly pages, and chew on the soft cloth. It also allows them to interact with a book, which is good for learning to read in later development.
