Hello Santa! is the perfect gift for your baby's first Christmas! This sturdy board book features modern illustrations, meticulously cut out of black and white paper, that depict the story of Santa's journey from the North Pole on Christmas Eve. Current research suggests that interaction with high-contrast images and geometric patterns helps stimulate brain and eyesight development in infants. In this high contrast book, Santa's toy bag whirls around a Christmas tree skirt to form a bull's eye and the whoosh of Santa's sleigh creates wavy stripes. Parents can stand the book in front of their baby to keep his or her interest during tummy time. Because Hello Santa! is a wordless story?not just a group of pictures ? parents have an opportunity to infuse their own traditions into the story and foster creativity in older children. This narrative aspect of the images keeps parents and children interested in the book well beyond the first six months of the baby's life.
