Tana Hoban's Books
This is pretty good for a baby book, I guess, but I kind of find it troubling that we're simplifying the complexities of life so much just because newborns are basically dumber than housepets. Like, morality, hell, reality is shades of grey. My daughter needs to see that, even if she can't, you know...
Photos of things children might see in their travels (particularly city dwellers). Below each picture is a circle with the colors that appear prominently in the photo (red, yellow, blue, orange, green, purple).
You've got to admire the simplicity of the concept. Do also check out Hoban's White on Black.
