ursery rhymes. Black and white illustrations are essential as a newborn's retina can only distinguish between light and dark contrasts. Research shows that black and white images promote optic nerve growth, and help the visual part of a baby's brain to thrive and develop by leaps and bounds. Included are Humpty Dumpty, Eeny Meeny Miny Moe, Jack and Jill, Little Boy Blue, Little Bo-Peep, It's Raining it's Pouring, Little Miss Muffet, This Little Piggy, London Bridge, The Three Little Kittens, Hush Little Baby Don't Say a Word, Rub-a-dub-dub, Sing a Song of Sixpence, Peter Piper, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Brother Jack, Buckle My Shoe, Five Little Speckled Frogs, Five Little Monkeys, Old Mother Hubbard, Five Little Ducks, and Jack Be Nimble. Reading nursery rhymes helps to stimulate a babies interest in sounds, fosters listening skills, helps to develop early language skills, and strengthens the emotional bond between a parent and their baby. This book will help your baby grow into a thriving happy toddler.
