My husband bought this book for our 6 week old daughter and she loves to look at it. I prop her up on the boppy and she will just stare at the pictures forever, she even turns her head to see the opposite page. I would buy this book for anyone having a baby. We also have the White on Black books and she seems to like Art for Baby more since it is bigger and easier for her to see.
Kiwi Magazine Review:This is just the unique board book you have been looking for. You want people to think you, the gift giver, have some class, style and appreciation for art, without being snobby. Well, here is the perfect gift for new parents who want to keep the pastels at bay and enjoy some intriguing black and white art by the likes of Damien Hirst, Gary Hume, Takashi Murakami and others. Comes with a set of prints to add to the nursery decor.
I have bought many books for my granddaughter but more than any other she locked onto this one and just stared at each picture as if in a trance. Out-of-this-world beautiful!
This book is much bigger than I was anticipating (my fault for not reading the measurements). It is the size of a traditional picture book as opposed to most board books. However it is fantastic! The babies really love the black and white images. There are no words except for the artist's name and the name of the artwork so we just talk about what we see.It also includes a wall hanging of the artwork in the book that we plan to use taped to the car seat back.
My 2.5 month old loves the pictures in this book. He does not tolerate tummy time very well and this book gives him a reason to try to prop his head up longer. I just open it up and stand it on the floor for him to push up and look at. The pictures definitely keep his attention better than anything else I've tried so far!
Black and white pictures are supposed to be best for newborns (they don't see color until about six months), but the pictures were not very interesting to my tiny baby. Plus it's really a big book, doesn't fit with the little board books. More like a coffee table book for someone cultured who just had a baby.Update - at about 14 months, my son started engaging with it for a few months.
During the early developmental stages, this board book provided the contrast between positive and negative space, plus shapes/form detection. Now, a bit later, it has become a novel board book to sit down and look at, differently, as tot is a wee bit older. It still gets chosen from time to time.
I have purchased this book , as well as others in the series, for several baby shower gifts. They are always a big hit for the future mom who wants to start her baby off with intellectual stimulation and "has everything".
