Publisher's Synopsis
The perfect baby present and self-purchase for just the right moment in a baby and parent's life.
Introducing
Beginning Baby, a new line of novelty board books and gifts from the
Chronicle Children's group. Based on over 30 years of distinctive,
innovative, bestselling, and award-winning children's publishing,
Beginning Baby is the ultimate series for new parents and their
children. We've taken our experience as creative professionals, moms,
dads, aunts, uncles, siblings, and friends to create a line of books and
gifts that we would want to share with the little ones in our lives.
Every Beginning Baby book, toy, or game features simple icons to denote
which developmental milestones it supports, along with the intended age
range. With its distinctive yet accessible art, lovable characters, and
educational concepts, Beginning Baby is designed to make growing and
learning as easy as playing and dreaming-and will become the must-have
gift or self-purchase for every baby's first library. Because a strong
beginning sets the groundwork for a bright start!
In Welcome to Shape School!,
readers join Gabriel Giraffe, Elijah Elephant, Riley Narwhal, Mia
Monkey, Layla Llama, Paisley Octopus, and Mateo Red Panda as they tap,
trace, and count the nine different shapes that they encounter during
their day at school!
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE: Every book is
conceived and written to address milestones in a baby's life, from fine
motor skills to shape recognition and emotional awareness.
A CHARMING WAY TO LEARN TO COUNT: Like Counting Kisses, this counting book teaches very young children how to count to ten and express their affection in many delightful ways.
CUTE CHARACTERS: Evoking Richard Scarry's classic characters but for
much younger readers, these adorable characters-from an artistic llama
to a musical elephant and gardener octopus-teach toddler concepts while
promoting socialization and community.
BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED FOR
DISCERNING EYES: Bright, peppy colors and patterns make this series of
books attractive for both babies and adults!
MORE TITLES COMING: Beginning Baby will launch with 3 titles and publish 2-3 titles per season through 2022.
Perfect for:
Parents of babies and toddlers
Grandparents
Uncles and aunts
Teachers and educators at daycare and early childhood centers
Anyone looking for the perfect baby shower gift
