Book Description
for Baby's Day by Michel Blake and Trish Gant
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Two entries in Candlewick’s ingenious “Easy-Open” board book series feature eye-catching black-and-white photographs of babies or toddlers engaged in typical activities of young children. On each page, a single object in the photograph appears in color, with the object labeled in large type (e.g., “Teether,” “Cups,” “Shoes,” “Wagon”). Baby’s Day features an African American child; Let’s Play features two children, at least one of whom is Asian. The “Easy-Open” feature of these board books refers to the page edges, which are staggered so that small children can easily grasp the pages for turning. (Ages birth – 2)
