Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Fifteen years ago, Ms. Sakagashi, the creator of this book, set out to design a book that would soothe crying babies. Her first attempt published in 2003 featured black, white and red art, and found a loyal audience. But she was not satisfied: she refined the content as more and more babies read and responded to the art. She tried lines of different thickness, and eventually added more colors, and then in 2009, she stumbled onto a simple squiggle with a smiley face created by Akio Kashiwara, that changed everything. That squiggle was exactly what she was looking for. Ms. Sakagashi confimed her suspicion that babies would fall in love with Mr. Akio Kashiwara's art, and this book has sold close to 700,000 copies in Japan over the last 8 years, making lots of babies (and their parents) very happy.

Great for infants at any age. My newborn started looking at the pictures as soon as we got it, he especially liked the pages with red in the contrast. I feel that this book will grow with him.

I did not know red was an important first color. Our 2 month old grandchild’s eyes grew big and round when she looked at the pictures. I am sure she will enjoy it more and more as she grows.

This book is awesome. I purchased this as a gift for a family member’s baby shower and it was highly recommended by others. A baby’s development is important and introducing the red color first is perfect for a baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo per circle book
Reviewed in Italy on September 23, 2022

The media could not be loaded.
 Ottimo libro per il tummy time, come gioco assieme ad altri libri simili per il circle book (sto prendendo la collana), immagini ben delineate ad alto contrasto non solo in b/n ma anche con l'introduzione dei colori. Purtroppo le pagine cartonate non sono così spesse, tuttavia sono ugualmente resistenti!
Bel libro ma consiglio di acquistare libri in libreria, purtroppo anche se il pacco arriva integro, fino ad ora ho sempre ricevuto i libri con piccoli, medi e anche grandi difetti tra botte, segni di penna, graffi e strisci. Il servizio clienti arriva fino ad un certo punto e spesso, anche se si fa la sostituzione, il secondo libro che arriva è altrettanto rovinato! Significa che non dipende dalla spedizione o dall'imballo, ma che spediscono prodotti già rovinati 🤷🏻‍♀️

My baby really enjoys looking at the high contrast images in this book. Not really much of a “story” line in this book, but the images are great and very captivating for a 3-6 month old.
