Children’s book writer and illustrator Tana Hoban designed four wordless black and white books for very young babies: Black on White and White on Black in 1993 and Who Are They? and What is That? in 1994. Black & White (2007) combines the first two into one accordion-style read-aloud that is great for tummy time . Hoban's high contrast silhouettes teach babies about the shape of things. When baby starts reaching, pair Who Are They? with DK Publisher’s padded Baby Touch and Feel Farm or DK’s Touch and Feel Farm . Playful repeat readings help her connect animal shapes with animal names and names with animal sounds and textures. Get quacking!
