Beiens Baby High Contrast Black and White Book ($14)

It's a myth that babies only see black and white, but it's true that they don't see colors as clearly as adults — their vision is still developing. "High-contrast black and white images are attractive for young babies because their color vision takes time to develop. Red is the first color that babies see," Dr. Choi says.

The boldly colored book boasts a 4.8-star Amazon rating and turns reading time into a multi-sensory experience with pages full of multiple textures, crinkle paper, mirrors, and flaps.
