Four read-aloud rhyming stories with high-contrast artwork: perfect for baby's first year

Read to your baby every day with this collection of developmentally tailored stories.

First Stories for Baby presents a pitch-perfect blend of read-aloud stories and high-contrast visuals to stimulate babies from birth. With four stories to read, and four adorable animals: an owl, bear, tiger and dolphin.

This second book in the series focuses on rhyme, rhythm and animal noises - perfect for babies just starting to babble. Neither too long, nor too short, these stories easily fit into baby's daily routine, to make reading together a regular activity all the family can enjoy and benefit from.

When your little one is ready to move on, try the next book in the series: Play Together. Each story collection has been created in consultation with an early years expert to perfectly suit your baby's needs at every stage in their first year. Beautifully written and illustrated by award-winning illustrator Emma Dodd.
