Baby & toddler (1-3): Growing with Ladybird

Babies develop rapidly, and Ladybird’s Baby range develops with them, all supported by the latest research into how babies respond to pictures, things to touch and the voices they hear.

High contrast images help babies’ sight develop, while soft, padded cloth books encourage older babies to use their hands and fingers to explore. Books with textures to touch and feel stimulate the senses. Unusual shapes, holes to peep through and mirrors reward babies’ curiosity about the world around them.

Sharing Ladybird books with your baby will be a pleasure for you both.  Especially chosen words and rhymes will help you to feel confident in how you communicate with your baby. Sounds, songs, stories and rhymes promote language and listening skills, as well as giving you that feeling of closeness to your baby.

Toddler

Bold, bright and full of fun, Ladybird’s Toddler range gives your child a head start in learning. Simple rhymes, stories and songs reward your toddler for slowing down and listening and are the first stage in developing colour, counting and alphabet skills.

Books about toddlers’ interests and enthusiasms give you lots to talk about and encourage your toddler to talk to you, developing his language, vocabulary and clarity of speech.

Everyday settings encourage very young children to enjoy and understand the world around them, building confidence and enhancing a toddler’s sense of self. Flaps, textures and tabs encourage inquisitive minds and fingers to explore and learn through play. When it comes to getting your toddler ready for nursery, look no further than our Start Nursery series which will help to build your child’s confidence in taking this important first step away from the home environment.

Stories

The gift of a story is the gift of life-long learning. Reading research shows that a child who has favourite books before school will have a head start in learning to read. Ladybird offers a variety of storybook series that are specially written to appeal to children.
