Ladybird Books is thrilled to welcome a new addition to its award-winning range of Baby Touch books, just in time for a little one’s first Valentine’s Day!

The latest interactive book I Love You is a colourful page-turner, bursting with engaging sensory touch-and-feel pages that babies will adore.

Ideal for snuggling up with at bedtime or during calm moments in the day, this engaging board book is the perfect addition to any baby’s bookshelf. With heart-shaped holes to peep through and a range of textured patches, there is plenty for a little one to touch, feel and explore.

I Love You encourages little ones to open their hearts to the loved ones around them as well as creatures, great and small. Babies can stroke a lion’s soft fur, touch a shiny mermaid’s tail and feel a fuzzy caterpillar. Through each heart cut-out, babies are drawn closer to the final page which is a heart-warming celebration of friends and family.

Featuring simple text to read aloud, this playbook supports speech and reading development. With contrasting colours and a variety of textures, I Love You also boosts motor skills and encourages sensory development.
