BabyVision Illusions is based on Baby Science, which finds that babies can see some illusions from as young as 4-months old. The illusions in this book have been chosen because they are known to be visually interesting to young babies.

Building on the success of Look Touch Learn, BabyVision has been developed with a leading university baby lab. A bold and contrasting palette of colors is optimally suited to infant retinas and looks completely different to more traditional books for babies.

Each book in the new BabyVision series is designed to promote early visual development through targeted stimulation, using topics such as repetition, optical illusions, odd one out and sequencing.

ILLUSIONS is a vibrant board book that includes some visual illusions for babies to examine. These are included on the cover, as well as in full page images alongside images of children interacting with them.

What I loved: This is a simple book that focuses on imagery. Limited text on each page helps to describe the illusion in a couple words. The images of babies/toddlers will appeal to this age group, and there is plenty to visually explore on each page spread. The vibrant and bright colors make this attention-grabbing. A simple concept, this works well for the youngest of readers who love to visually examine books and the world around them.

Final verdict: ILLUSIONS is a colorful and visually interesting board book for infants. With simple text and fun colors, this is an attention-grabbing book that babies will enjoy visually exploring.
