Baby-Toddler—A much-beloved wordless classic in a board book format. Hoban expertly uses full-page black-and-white silhouettes to invoke everyday objects/sights (banana, pacifier, kittens, etc.). The large trim size allows the boldness of the design to come through—little ones can practically see themselves in the glossy black. The emphasis on shapes makes this perfect for babies and young children developing their image recognition skills.
