Black and white board books? I'm in. They are the perfect distraction for newborn "tummy time." Newborns need tummy time, can only see in black and white {is that true?} and can't see very far. Prop some of these up in front of them and {hopefully} they'll love it.
my 13 month old still loves "black on white". :)
