Tana Hoban

Before babies can see color clearly, they respond to the high contrast between black and white. This accordion-style foldout board book is sturdy enough to stand on its own, is ideal for little hands, and features Tana Hoban's bold and iconic black-and-white images of familiar objects along with full-color photographs of adorable babies interacting with those objects.

Black illustrations against a white background depict such objects as an elephant, butterfly, and leaf.

Photographs without text feature shadows and reflections of various objects, animals, and people.
