Look
A Tummy Time Book
A wordless concertina board book of big, bright faces to place around the baby on the floor at tummy time—family faces on one side and toys on the other—by award-winning author/illustrator Gavin Bishop.
This safe and sturdy fold-out book is a perfect gift, with compelling illustrations of the things babies love. Friendly faces from the whole family combine with familiar toys and objects, drawn in bold lines with a striking minimalist color palette.
Tummy time helps to strengthen a baby’s back, neck, and shoulders. The strong, simple images stimulate developing eyesight, allowing babies to see things up close and from a different point of view.
The images are perfect for introducing first words and concepts as baby grows, with 12 family faces—including the dog—and 12 objects that babies love to hold and explore—soft toys, ball, keys, an enticing pair of spectacles and more.
