My first black and white book: animals 

Woof Woof… that’s the sound of the dog. But whose Tweet Tweet is it?! A book full of little animals and the noises they make that will certainly delight babies. ‘My first black and white book: animals’ features some of the best-known animals — and some very peculiar ones — and reveals each animal through pages and illustrations that stand out in black and white. Poetically, the book shows that there is a little noise and that it seems to be an animal. Who is it? Affectionately, different animals and the noises they make are presented so that babies can enjoy reading and discover the pleasure of holding a book in their hands. There are dogs, ducks, lions, elephants… But the highlights are the animals of the Brazilian fauna. Can you imagine your baby laughing like an agouti or roaring like a jaguar?!
YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW THAT… This book has been awarded the Nature Inside seal because of its concern for the environment and environmental education for children and young people. Following the guidelines of Agenda 2030/UN and UNESCO, the book promotes the reader’s integration with the nature that exists around them and with that present in the forests and thickets of the preservation areas.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT… This book is friendly to readers with dyslexia, as the font used is Open Dyslexic, making reading more enjoyable for everyone. The text is in capital letters, which also helps readers who are in the process of becoming literate.
WHY READ IT? The book features black and white images and the contrast between light and dark in the black-and-white illustrations always attracts the attention of babies, who are developing their eyesight and want to observe everything around them. Reading a book in black and white will give your baby a new visual and aesthetic experience.
