About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their toddler is experiencing the physical discomfort and irritability of teething. It serves as a dual-purpose tool, offering a tactile solution for sore gums while providing a gentle visual distraction to help pivot a child from fussiness to focus. This board book introduces young learners to the concept of color through high-contrast photography of familiar blue objects like socks, pails, and butterflies. At this developmental stage, sensory input is the primary way children learn. The book validates a child's need for oral stimulation while building early vocabulary. It is most appropriate for infants and toddlers ages 6 to 24 months. Parents will appreciate the durable construction and the way it transforms a challenging physical milestone into an opportunity for quiet, shared discovery and sensory relief.
