BABY BRIGHT. A scientific approach to books for babies


(A book review by Piedad)
I´m going to speak about a children book from 0 – 12 months called Baby Bright. 

The book is very attractive to babies by their colors and different materials it is made. In the cover appear a big butterfly in the middle of the country. The butterfly is smiling and in her wings are brilliant pieces of paper of different touch than the rest. Flowers, grass and a very big sun are the other drawings in the cover.

The first page is the butterfly singing to the baby who is looking the flowers. The butterfly is flying around the flowers. The way she want to teach is the circle. In the second page she want to teach the zig zag though the trees with a form like triangle.

The following is a loop in the sky. The loop is cut in the carton, as before, the zig zag and circles.

The next is a spiral around the sunflower and a rose.

The last one appear the butterfly touching the baby´s nose. The right side of the page is a button that if you press sounds of laughter of a child.

So the book takes into account the color, touch, sound and words to stimulate baby's senses.

Book corner are rounded to save damage.

Also great Ormond street hospital children´s charity receives a 2.5% royalty from every copy sold.

I think is a good book to teach different things to babies who can stimulate sight, touch, hearing…

It would be better if the pictures were more varied that these.
