My First Ocean Animals: A Cloth Book with First

This sweet, soft, and stackable first cloth book is the perfect way to introduce babies to the ocean and all its creatures!

This beautiful ocean-themed cloth book features first animal names and colorful, high-contrast illustrations on a colored background. Babies are born with undeveloped vision and researchers have found that they strongly prefer high-contrast images that stand out in their blurry new world. They can marvel at the brightly-colored ocean animals of all kinds on these soft cloth pages.

The small and chunky cubed format makes it easy to grasp and play with. Each book in the series sits inside a sturdy, reusable box featuring atmospheric illustrations. The boxes can be stacked and arranged to form different patterns as a bonus puzzle game!

Little ones will be enthralled by these delightful and giftable books as they develop their vision and language skills, as well as hand-eye coordination. 

Other titles available in this series of beautiful cloth books are My First Dinosaurs, My First Farm Animals, and My First Jungle Animals.
