Mama Makes Books is a new children’s publisher, with a launch list of books that includes two Baby Sensory board books. Delightfully bright, bold and built for babies, with lots of things to engage their attention, including touch-and-feel textures, sliders, soft fabrics, fur, glitter and the ever-popular mirror.
My just turned two-year-old loves both of these books and insists we read them every night at the moment. He loves the teddy bear in Baby Look, and the sliders that go ‘up’ and ‘down’ revealing different colours. He’s learning new words and colors, thanks to this one book! He enjoys finding his eyes, nose, ears and tummy, and he loves the different faces of the babies in Baby Love.
I can highly recommend these books for both babies and toddlers.
