Baby's First Stories presents a unique blend of read-aloud stories and high-contrast visuals, featuring an adorable elephant, panda, whale and bunny. Each story has been created in consultation with Early Years Expert Lizzie Noble, to perfectly suit your baby's needs at every stage in their first year.
6-9 months focusses on daily routines, from getting dressed, through mealtime, bathtime and back to bed: perfect for little ones starting to join in with family mealtimes, and settle into more regular patterns. Jane Foster's black-and-white artwork features bold pops of blue and red - reflecting that, by 6 months, your baby can see most colours, and their vision is becoming less reliant on high-contrast.
Neither too long, nor too short, each story will easily fit into baby's day, to make reading together a regular activity. When your little one is ready to move on, try Baby's First Stories - 9-12 months. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning textile designer Jane Foster, and written by picture book rising-star, Lily Murray.

Written in consultation with Early Years Expert, Lizzie NobleFills a gap in the market: parents are told to read to their baby every day, but black and white books often have little text. Reading aloud soothes babies, promotes bonding, builds language skills, and increases the chance that parents will read to babies as they grow older. 6-9 months has black, white, red and blue art, as from 6 months, babies can see most colours. The story relates to routines, to reflect little ones starting to wean, and settling into into more regular patterns.Perfect for parents who use the Wonder Weeks App, read Your Baby Week by Week, or use milestone cards to mark big moments
