Baby Steps is a series of three board books: Baby Play, Baby Look and Baby Talk. These are the perfect “starter books” for Baby’s first year and are offered for the first time in one package.

Based on developmental research, the books encourage playful interaction between parent and child. The series features bright, bold images of diverse families that will grab Baby's attention, bouncy text that parents will love to read aloud and great information on how parents can connect with their baby.
