Splish splash

Mojca Dolinar - Author

Expect a sensory read-aloud rather than a sustained story: bold, contrasting images, sea-creature pictures, touchable surfaces and playful sound prompts make up its appeal.

More about this book

Stimulate a baby's developing vision and coordination with these bright and bold, high-contrast novelty board books. Babies are able to react and respond to simple patterns and contrasting colours just a few weeks after being born. As their eyes develop, high-contrast shapes, patterns and reflective surfaces give newborns something simple to focus on, respond to and interact with. Splish Splash aids the development of early coordination by encouraging babies to reach for and explore the bumpy, smooth and shiny textures. Babies will react with delight as they touch and feel the pictures of friendly sea creatures, while the simple text prompts parent interaction.`

Themes in Context

Sensory exploration

The book pairs bold, contrasting imagery and friendly sea-creature pictures with bumpy, smooth and shiny surfaces, simple text and sound prompts.Exploratory / explanatory

How the book presents it: Its design is informational and interactive: it presents sensory features as opportunities for babies to focus, respond and reach, with an adult invited to join in.

Talk about: Which feature holds your baby’s attention, and what do you notice when you explore it together?

Why It May Be Worth Reading

Its design invites a baby to focus, reach and explore, while the short text gives an adult a natural way to share the experience rather than simply hand over the book.

What Deserves Attention

The emphasis is on sensory interaction; an adult can follow the baby’s interest in the textures and pictures rather than expecting a conventional plot or extended reading session.

A Conversation Worth Having

Which pictures, sounds or textures does your baby seem most interested in, and how might you follow that interest together?

Reading Approach

Share it at the baby’s pace: pause over a picture, make the suggested sounds and offer opportunities to feel the different surfaces together.
