Overview

Dedicated to simple yet developmentally stimulating icons and experiences of childhood, this series encourages children to have fun discovering the world through the real world rather than through screen-based media. That wild, wonderful childhood ecosystem called the yard is the subject of this board book. Whether turning pages or turning over rocks, kids are sure to be inspired to become naturalists and explorers.

Reviews

“These books work on so many levels, with poetry to hear, pictures to talk about, and a powerful message. They give children just the sort of delightful and mind-expanding experiences they need, while leading parents to see the child’s world through a creative and joyful lens. Wonderful medicine for an overly electronic age!”  —Dr. Robert Needlman, MD, associate professor of pediatrics, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and cofounder, Reach Out and Read

"Baby Unplugged is a movement that adds to our wish to advance the best possible development for all children 0–3 and expands into preschool and early reader/word development skills. The patterns and concepts explored are more than just another board book and purposefully present topics and skill sets for this developmental level. I highly recommend them to parents, caregivers and child-lovers in general!”  —Dr. Joe Leanza, MD, MHS, FAAP, Springdale-Mason Pediatrics Associates
