Book Blocks are chunky little board books that are shaped like blocks, the perfect first books for babies! Featuring high-contrast colors, eye-catching shapes, and colorful patterns (incorporating the latest scientific research about vision development), these mini books are designed to entice infants to focus and develop their visual acuity. Four little block-shaped mini books, each measuring 2-3/8 x 2-3/8 inches, comprise this adorable set: Book 1: Black and White--simple but interesting shapes moving into more complex shapes and patterns Book 2: Red, Blue, and Yellow--introduces primary colors and slightly more complex shapes, moving into real patterns with multiple colors Book 3: Color and Pattern--secondary colors and more complex patterns Book 4: Visual Excitement--subtle shades and complicated patterns Simply sit with your baby a few minutes each day and turn the pages, encouraging baby to focus on each page. As your baby develops, you will be able to hand the book blocks back and forth, and soon your baby will be able to grasp the book blocks and explore for her or himself. • The set of 4 books is presented in a slim box, 9-1/2 x 2-3/8 x 2, with an acetate window that reveals the book blocks inside. • Studies show that during the first year of life, babies' visual skills develop dramatically. While a month-old infant will prefer sharply defined, black and white edges and patterns, by 4 months of age, most babies can distinguish even subtle shades and respond to repeating patterns. • These little books provide a great opportunity for parents and caregivers to interact with baby. Just a few minutes a day of looking at and tracking shapes and colors helps babies to develop good visual acuity. • Designed by Dan Stiles, who is known for his appealing use of color and pattern, these bloox make a great toy that will continue to be fun to play with long after babies have learned to see as well as adults.

POW! Kids Books

The perfect book for anyone who has ever asked a small child, "What are you going to wear today?" It's time to get dressed, and for this little girl, the possibilities are endless! Should she wear her sequin top, a cowboy hat with polka dots, a coat that hasn't fit in years and bunny muffs upon her ears? Perhaps all at once? An equally amusing follow-up to Dan Stiles' first book, Put On Your Shoes!, chronicles the challenges of getting dressed. It resonates with all parents when they inevitably discover that their kids have their own fierce, funny personalities--not to mention unique clothing preferences. Bright, bold illustrations in Dan's signature retro style, a handy board book size, and fun surprise at the end will keep kids happily turning pages.

Today I'm Going to Wear . . .

Internationally acclaimed designer and illustrator Dan Stiles offers a collection of over 200 concert posters for many of todays leading acts including Arctic Monkeys, Wilco, The XX, Sonic Youth, Girl Talk, Sigur Ros and hundreds more. From Indie Rock to Dance Punk, Americana, Hip-Hop and Garage Rock these lovingly screen printed posters provide a visual narrative of the music that shaped the last decade. While music, like fashion, recycles itself, poster artwork consistently endears fans. From cheap momentos often ripped down from telephone poles to priceless framed souvenirs accompanied by concert tickets, true music fans can describe posters from their favorite shows. Proving once again that punk is not dead &amp; that video did not kill the radio star, Stiles' posters evoke the thrill of small band discovery for die-hard fans &amp; first-timers. Occasionally it is the artwork we treasure, more than even the band, following the artist's discernment rather than our own ears. How many times have we gone to a show because a friend dragged us? That can easily be said for having been led to a show because of Stiles' seductive posters. Reproduced as a collection for the first time this book is a must have for every music and art fan. With extensive writing in Stiles' own words, a forward by famed rock poster historian Paul Grushkin and an interview conducted by design broadcaster Mark Brickey this book goes beyond the images into the history, philosophy, and techniques used to create award winning posters as well as methods of building success in the ever shifting waters of professional art and design. Finding inspiration, business practices and design development are covered as the process of creating individual posters is broken down step by step. With topics ranging from color theory to building a screen printing studio in Stiles' basement.
