LoveReading4Kids Says
A Wonderful Wood by Elizabeth Davies and Lily Fossett is part of a new series from Kennedy Publishing, created specifically for very young children. Designed in high-contrast black and white, the book features bold, simple illustrations that stimulate visual development, helping strengthen eye muscles, improve focus, and support early brain growth.
The story gently follows a group of woodland animals as they prepare for hibernation, journeying through various habitats and gathering food for the winter. Each double-page spread features striking black-and-white imagery, thoughtfully crafted to engage developing eyes that respond best to high-contrast visuals, without overwhelming them. Accompanied by simple, rhythmic text that is fun to read aloud, A Wonderful Wood is ideal for supporting early cognitive and visual development in babies, and is fun to share too.
Also available in the same series is the Sensory Set of Flash Cards and Cloth Book.

A Wonderful Wood Synopsis
A Wonderful Wood is a fun adventure poem of five forest creatures' preparation for hibernation, full of the onomatopoeic sounds of nature and the warmth of friendship. Reminiscent of Julia Donaldson's Fox's Socks, A Wonderful Wood brings to life this group of friendly woodland creatures in a unique and calming way. The beautiful, high-contrast, black-and-white illustrations make this a perfect storybook for newborns, designed to be stimulating and engaging in their first weeks, as their vision is starting to develop.
Created by the early-learning team at Kennedy Publishing, one of the UK's largest children's magazine publishers, the book provides a raft of benefits that support early development. Black-and-white pictures are a perfect way to encourage visual development, enhance tummy time when placed in front of babies on the floor and increase attention span. A complete sensory experience that helps little ones to familiarise themselves with their grown-up's voice, the bold and contrasting colours are paired with a rhythmical cadence that can also help soothe them to sleep - the perfect gift for new mums and dads! As little ones grow, they can enjoy A Wonderful Wood as an independent reading experience.
Young readers can learn about hibernating animals and experience natural habitats, while nurturing an enjoyment for rhyme, rhythm and fun with language.
Also available: A Wonderful Wood Sensory Set: Cloth Book and Flash Cards and Tummy Time.
