Each of these six little board books from Phaidon encourages a kid to interact with the book in a specific way. The Game of Light features patterned die-cut pages to shine a flashlight through and experiment with light and shadow. The Game of Patterns requires observation and concentration as the reader looks for the differences between very similar - but not identical - facing pages. The Game of Let's Go! combines a fuzzy green flocked line with die-cut shapes to create a book that is beautiful even with your eyes shut. A variety of learners can enjoy the colors, patterns, and tactile qualities of these books.

This is a really simple book with no words, just doodles to mix and match. The pages seem thick and sturdy, so hopefully this will stand up well to a curious baby.

Wordless, die cut pages allow readers active participation with the book. Very bright, colorful interesting items to create.

I would have loved this book as a kid. Even after my 2.5yo was done with it tonight, I kept playing with it. The pictures don't line up as well as I'd hope, but it's fun and sturdy.
