Art for Baby
When I give a baby gift, I try to find something that will be meaningful and valued by the family.
You can hardly go wrong with a good book, and Art for Baby is just such a book.
Art for Baby is a sturdy, 12 page board book with black and white silhouette or line-type pictures by accomplished artists.
Savvy parents will recognize the stylings of Josef Albers, Patrick Caulfield, Keith Haring (Kathleen! I know you are a fan!), Damien Hirst, Gary Hume, Kazimir Malevich, Paul Morrison, Takashi Murakami, Julian Opie, Bridget Riley, and David Shrigley.
Babies enjoy looking at objects with lots of contrast, so why not give them some art in their visual diet? Makes sense to me!
Plus the other parents at the baby shower will think you are extremly cultured for selecting such a gift. And rightly so!
Pick up Art for Baby for about $14 on Amazon.com.

What a great book. I wish I had known about it when Soren was smaller, though he still likes black and white books. Not as much as when he was an infant though.

This sounds like a great book as board books are great baby gifts. I’m going to check this one out the next trip to the book store. Another great baby book is Dear Baby, What I love about you! by author Carol Casey. It’s full of bright illustrations with endearing baby faces and poses set in tropical colors. Babies love it! http://www.dearbabybooks.com
