Baby’s First Words: Animals

Bright digital graphics showcase 10 animals and the noises they make. Set against delicately patterned backgrounds in vivid citrus colors, bold pinks, and rich blues, the animals include a smiley orange lion (“roar!”), a polka-dotted octopus (“squish!”), and a magenta elephant squirting water from its trunk (“splash!”). Graduated pages cut in a gentle curve create a rainbow effect while giving a peek of the pages to come. It’s a just-the-basics introduction to owls, crocodiles, bees, and other animals with lots of visual appeal. Simultaneously available: Things That Go. Up to age 3. (May)
