Fiona Watt and Stella Baggott, Baby's Very First Touchy-feely Colours Play Book
**
A couple of years late to be the first, having the set back then would have been nice. At this stage, it's just pretty pages to flick through and compulsively open flaps. She fell asleep in the buggy 10 minutes later, so wasn't up for anything demanding.

An abridgement with minor art variation and now-mandatory narcissistic finale, this would be fine if you hadn't read the original, but is pointless if you have. That said, she did insist on reading two identical Dear Zoos today, so maybe they're on to something.
