What Next? [board book] / by Franklin, Annaauthor(CARDINAL)530313; Passchier, Andyillustrator;
"Baby See Over and Over is based on Baby Science which finds that babies notice the visual patterns of nature and the buildings around them. The images in this book have been design to include the elements of patterns that grab babies' attention such as repetition, symmetry and curves. Building on the success of Look Touch Learn, Baby See has been developed with a leading university baby lab. Each book in the new Baby See series is designed to promote early brain development through maximal targeted stimulation, using topics such as repetition, optical illusions, odd one out and sequencing. A bold and contrasting palette of colours is optimally suited to infant retinas, and looks completely different to more traditional books for babies." --
