Stimulate baby's developing vision with high contrast animal friends in Lamaze Panda's Pals Book Gift Set. This board book set includes a soft, cuddly Panda. The Lamaze High Contrast Book, with easy to turn pages, is a bright and colourful board book designed to make learning fun for little ones. Even at a very young age, children can begin to understand the process of reading. Reading fosters imagination and the idea of possible worlds. Through identification with characters in a book, children learn social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and cooperation. Reading also allows children to learn about their environment. As they begin to point out places and objects that are new, they learn the concepts of shape, colour, and size. A child and caregiver bond in a warm and loving way through the experience of sharing a book. The included panda toy's floppy arms and legs encourage pulling, squeezing, and hugging.
