Review: Great New Line of First Books from Lamaze by Learning Curve!!

Lamaze by Learning Curve has always been one of my very favorite brands for babies, so when I recently had the opportunity to review their new line of first books, I was thrilled! 

Reading to your kids is such an important thing, even when you think your babies are too young to actually understand. I think it is more the "act" of doing it, and the ritual that is important when babies are young. 

Lamaze has a great new line of first books out right now, and they were all designed with the help of some very respected child development experts. There are both hard board books and soft books in this collection, and they are all super cute and colorful, and teach babies about basic concepts such as counting, animals, colors, etc. 

We received several books for review, one of which was Captain Calamari's Color Adventure Gift Set. This set includes the board book and the Captain Calamari Plush. Isn't he the cutest? The Bean really enjoyed holding him ( and chewing on him, naturally...) while we read the books. This is a really cute book and he seemed to enjoy the colors. It held his interest through the whole book, which, granted, wasn't very long, but still, good in my opinion! 

I am so glad we got the chance to review these books, and now have them to add to our storytime routine! We received several other board books, including The Counting Zoo board book and the Big Top Circus board book. The Bean really seems to enjoy them, and I have found him playing with them several times when he didn't know I was looking! 

Lamaze's First Books Collection also includes several soft books, like this: 

These soft books are especially good for smaller babies, it is much easier for them to manipulate the pages of the soft books. And, the best thing about the soft books, in my opinion? Throw them in the washer when they are covered with slobber, which, inevitably, they will be!

I am very impressed with this line of books from Lamaze, but what else would I expect from such a wonderful brand? They have always been and will continue to be a staple in our house!
