Great books for babies

There are some amazing books available for babies right from newborn. Newborn babies have very bad eyesight and can only see in black and white- the Amazing Baby Black and White series is perfect,  full of geometric shapes in black and white.

Cloth Books: These are great for young babies who like to eat and snuggle their books. Two cloth books I like are "Guess How Much I Love You Snuggle Book" and "Baby Touch Snuggle Book" Both are very bright and tactile.

Cot Books: Cot books attach to the outside of your babies cot or craddle, they can look at them lying down. Usborne has a great range these such as "Animals: Babies First Cot Book" and "123 Cot Book"

Board  Books: There are alot of board book available. "Duck on Wheels" by DK is a toy and a book in one. "My Noisy Book of Ducklings" this book quacks and is my daughters current favourite. "Baby loves Peekaboo!" by DK is a fun lift the flap book. "The Hungry Caterpillar" is a very popular book, I have a version that has a finger puppet included!

Buggy Books: Buggy books attach onto the side of the pram and can be read on the go. "Night" and "Day" by Campbell Books are eye-catch with mirrored front covers suitable for newborns.

Nursery Rhymes: If you cant remember the words to any nursery rhymes, I recommend investing in a good book such as "100 Best Loved Nursery Rhymes" by Miles Kelly or  Babies love them!

Songs and Music: "Wheels on the Bus" is a Nursery Rhyme and song CD produced by the BBC great for listening to in the Car. "The Usborne Book of Lullabies" is a book and CD compilation, again great for putting baby to sleep in the car.

All of these books and many more available in Village Books.
