Did you know that you can (and should) read to baby from Day 1? There are so many benefits to reading with your little one from bonding, to inspiring a love of learning and obviously teaching your child about concepts like shapes, numbers, colors and more. Reading will serve as the foundation for your baby’s communication. Lately, we’ve been asked a lot about the best baby books to check out for your registry. Here, we’ve rounded up some tried-and-true best baby books – a list of favorites for the infancy stage from the team here at Gugu Guru.
Black & White by Tana Hoban In the early stages of infancy, babies are not able to see colors. Hoban’s books for children, especially her black & white series, are known and loved throughout the world as the best baby books. These books may be simple enough, but Tana’s photography is nothing short of sophisticated, with her work being exhibited at museums and galleries like the MOMA in New York.
