Ideal Reader
A three-month-old who is beginning to develop visual tracking skills and a parent looking for a high-engagement, tactile way to introduce the concept of books. It is also great for a toddler who loves things that sparkle.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents may want to ensure they have a good light source nearby to make the foil elements truly pop.
