Baby's First Cloth Book: Cuddly Bear

4 pp. | Nosy Crow | September, 2024 | Trade ISBN 9798887770864 $17.99
(3) PS Illustrated by Ingela P. Arrhenius. This high-contrast, padded cloth book presents a common animal (and, in one case, a smiling acorn) on each verso. A different critter appears on each recto tucked behind a colorful, securely attached felt flap. While the text is serviceable ("Here's an Owl! / Where is the rabbit?"), Arrhenius's illustrations are clear and eye-catching for newborns learning to focus. A middle page is embedded with a crinkling material for auditory stimulation, and the final page features a baby-safe mirror under a felt flap paired with the prompt, "Where are you?" A stroller handle with a Velcro attachment allows for play (and maybe reading) on the go.
