Best books for babies 0-12 months
Babies love snuggling up close with you and listening to the sound of your voice.
Newborn babies in particular often love high-contrast images such as black-and-white patterns. As they get a little bit older, they’re likely to be fascinated by photos of other babies and gentle rhymes.
Here's a selection of fantastic books to try with your baby.
