A golfer swings her club. Look at the ball fly! A player gears up to kick a soccer ball soaring toward him. A basketball player's open—here comes the ball!
Making connections between images on a page and the real world is an important building block for your baby's communication skills—and this charming introduction to sports in bold, basic patterns, provides a great high-contrast experience for young developing eyes. As newborns' vision is not developed enough to recognize colors, the sharp contrast of high-contrast patterns and illustration allows their eyes to differentiate between the images on a page. Sure to grab little ones' attention! A perfect book for summer reading.

" '3 2 1 GO!' shout the opening pages of this otherwise wordless board book, whose high-contrast images aim to grab the attention of youngest readers. On the spreads that follow, white-on-black silhouettes of athletes appear beside images of the balls their sports require; as a fun touch, a baby smiles at readers from one of the final pages, opposite a picture of a large beach ball on a bright green background. The lack of text creates an open-ended reading experience, allowing adults to ask children questions about the six sports introduced—golf, baseball, tennis, soccer, football, and basketball."
