Baby's First Aesop's Fables: A Newborn Black & White Book: 22 Short Verses, The Ants and the Grasshopper, The Fox and the Crane, The Boy Who Cried

Baby's First Aesop's Fables features 22 famous fables. Black and white illustrations are essential as a newborn's retina can only distinguish between light and dark contrasts. Research shows that black and white images promote optic nerve growth and help the visual part of a baby's brain to thrive and develop by leaps and bounds. Included are The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Tortoise and the Hare, The Country Mouse and the City Mouse, and The Dancing Monkeys. Reading aloud helps to stimulate a baby's interest in sounds, fosters listening skills, helps to develop early language skills, and strengthens the emotional bond between a parent and their baby. This book will help your baby grow into a thriving happy toddler.
