This charming, best-selling board book introduces eight adorable baby animals, featuring high-contrast black-and-white illustrations perfect for babies from birth to age two.

Research has shown that infants respond more readily to contrasting black and white images, making this book an ideal choice for the youngest of eyes. Up-close images of a playful Dalmatian puppy, a cuddly panda cub, a striped zebra, and other loveable animals grace each page. A final two-page spread completes this charming book with a clever surprise.

From the Publisher

Baby playing with mobile of black and white animals: rabbit, panda, lamb, seal, zebra, calf, etc
Phyllis Limbacher Tildes, author and illustrator

As a child, Phyllis Limbacher Tildes was always curious about nature and enjoyed exploring in the woods behind her home. The Limbacher house was always filled with pets and an occasional wild, orphaned animal. Phyllis was a voracious reader and loved her town library where she selected stacks of books for summer reading.

She never lost sight of her original dream of becoming an author/illustrator and in 1995 her first children’s book, Counting on Calico, was published. Since then she has published several other books; her most popular, Baby Animals: Black and White, has delighted babies and toddlers for over 20 years.

Author and Illustrator PHYLLIS LIMBACHER TILDES

I was a lucky child growing up in Connecticut in a home filled with pets and an occasional orphaned wild animal. I showed an early interest in the natural world. At only two years old I amazed my mother with a drawing of a butterfly. When I was a little older, I explored the woods behind our house with my father, whose love of nature was infectious. That early passion for wildlife is reflected in many of my books, including EYE GUESS, ANIMALS BLACK AND WHITE, and ANIMALS IN CAMOUFLAGE.

When I had learned to read and write, I began to make up stories with illustrations. By the time I was a teenager I knew I wanted to be and author and illustrator of children's books. I was thrilled to receive a scholarship to the prestigious art college, Rhode Island School of Design, where I majored in Illustration. I was chosen to be a European Honors Student studying in Italy for my senior year.

After graduation I was a graphic designer for many years before my lucky break with my first book contract from Charlesbridge for COUNTING ON CALICO. They have been my publisher since 1995. I have written and illustrated books on subjects such as pets and wildlife, an ethnic tale (THE MAGIC BABUSHKA), and a book on the deaf culture (THE GARDEN WALL), and baby board books. My most recent board book is BABY'S FIRST BOOK OF BIRDS AND COLORS. My 24th picture book, BUNNY'S BIG SURPRISE, was released January 2020.

With my picture books I hope to instill a sense of wonder and discovery in young readers.

    As one of the first books in my baby's library, its simplicity and bold black-and-white illustrations captivated my baby's attention from the very beginning. The contrast of colors is not only visually stimulating but also aids in early cognitive development. Each page features adorable animals, making it a joyous experience for my baby to explore this charming book. If you're seeking an engaging and visually appealing book for your baby's first library, this one is a wonderful choice. 📚👶🦓✨

    Meu filho olha pra esse livro desde os primeiros dias de vida, realmente funciona para o bebê RN, que enxerga bem mal no início. Até hj com 3 meses ele adora olhar o livro e até já tem preferência pelos animais , recomendo para mães que estão gravidas comprar e mostrar pro seu bebezinho desde o começo, vai distrair eles.

    Great book, good hardcover that can stand on its own in front of the baby. My boy is 7 weeks and can stare for up to 20 mins at the cute animal faces. He especially loves the dog and cat page :)
