I can totally see this series becoming a must-have for babies' bookshelves. They're so accessible, entertaining and brilliant for early learners.

A bright board book for little ones, this one also has enduring appeal as babies become toddlers and start learning words. There are just a few point-and-say words on each spread, but it's enough to start with and get kids used to seeing and saying objects and their names, even if they can't read. The googly eyes are a fun extra which lend a play element to the book, too.
