										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s never too early to start reading to your baby.

This second book in the series focusses on faces and naming body parts, and encourages babies and carers to join in with their own games of peek-a-boo, or tickle-time. Featuring black-and-white artwork with bold pops of blue. Neither too long, nor too short, these stories easily fit into baby&#8217;s daily routine, to make reading together a regular activity all the family can enjoy. When your little one is ready to move on, try the next book in the series: Baby&#8217;s First Stories &#8211; 6-9 months. Each story collection has been created in consultation with early years experts to perfectly suit your baby&#8217;s needs at every stage in their first year.
