Black-and-white patterns and illustrations pair with friendly greetings for favorite pjs, a teddy bear, a comfy pillow, and more. Hello, pjs. Good to see you, teddy bear. Hi there, comfy pillow. Hello, Bedtime… When babies are first born, they can't distinguish between colors the same way that older babies can. But studies show that babies can see high-contrast black-and-white shapes and patterns from the very first days of life, and this charming introduction to simple objects found in a baby's bedroom, paired with friendly text and bold, basic patterns, provides an important high-contrast experience for young developing eyes. Using simple greetings like "How's it going, soft blankie?," "Bonjour, cozy bed," and "Good night, stars," alongside lovely black-and-white art by Jannie Ho (illustrator of Hello, My World ), Hello, Bedtime is the perfect board book for babies just beginning to look around and learn about their world. Printed on sturdy board using nontoxic soy-based inks - Great quality and baby safe - Real board books, perfect for little hands - Round corners for extra safety - A great baby shower gift Also available: Hello, Baby Animals ; Hello, Ocean Friends ; Baby Loves Sports ; Hello, Garden Bugs ; Hello, My World ; Booook! A Spooky High-Contrast Book ; Holly Jolly! A High-Contrast Christmas Book ; and Hello Night, Hello Day "With bold, high-contrast images and simple greetings, this board book is designed to captivate the youngest readers from their very first glance. While newborns cannot distinguish colors in the earliest stages of life, they are naturally drawn to these high-contrast patterns and objects, which this book beautifully incorporates. Each spread introduces simple, recognizable shapes, offering a gentle way for babies to explore their new world. The visually stimulating pages will captivate babies while caregivers appreciate the design and interaction." ― School Library Journal "I confess that this particular book is my favorite. It’s one of those board books that serves a purpose above and beyond the creators’ original intentions. A very young baby who digs the high-contrast isn’t necessarily going to understand about bedtime yet, but as they age and the book is put into continual use, that concept will begin to make its mark. Definitely the kind of book we need to see more of on our shelves.
