A charming high-contrast introduction to Christmas. Black-and-white patterns and illustrations pair with friendly greetings for Santa, a friendly reindeer, a Christmas elf, yummy candy canes, and more.

The bestselling high-contrast books for babies!

Hello, friendly reindeer. Looking jolly, Santa. Hola, Christmas tree. Happy holidays to all...

When babies are first born, they can't distinguish between colours the same way that older babies can. But studies show that babies can see high-contrast black-and-white shapes and patterns from the very first days of life. This charming introduction to Christmas and the holiday season, paired with friendly text and bold, basic patterns, provides an important high-contrast experience for young developing eyes.

Using simple greetings like, "What's going on, Christmas elf?," "Looking jolly, Santa," and "Ni hao, bright star," alongside lovely black-and-white art by Jannie Ho (illustrator of Hello, My World), Holly Jolly! A High-Contrast Christmas Book is the perfect board book for babies just beginning to look around and learn about their world.

Printed on sturdy board using nontoxic soy-based inks

Great quality and baby safe

Real board books, perfect for little hands

Round corners for extra safety

A great baby shower or Christmas gift
