This is a board book with just black and white silhouette pictures. I suspect that this might be geared towards babies less than 4 months old, when they can't see color yet, because black and white simple shapes are supposed to be good to show to that age.

These pics are simple and black and white, and similar to the cover pick of the sun make of triangle rays. It is not just shapes. Instead it is pics in black and white, high contrast, and incorporating geometric shapes.

Look, Look! is a board book that would be suitable for newborns and infants. The high-contrast images keep the baby's attention, while 2-3 words written in large red text allow it to be read like a book without becoming overwhelming. This allows the book to be the first introduction to reading, though I preferred opening to a random page and letting the baby take it all in without distraction. It's a good book for tummy time.

Recommended age: 0-6 months

Writing style: Simple 2-3 words per page.

Lexile range (unofficial): 10L - 200L
Decoding difficulty: 1/5
Vocabulary difficulty: 1/5
Sentences difficulty: 1/5
Patterns difficulty: 4/5

Illustration style: Black and white silhouettes on high-contrast backgrounds.

Reality-based: Mostly. The objects are things a baby sees in real life (cat, fish, stars), except the giant smiling sun! I also like that there is a baby's face and hands because these seem more attractive to babies.

This is a great infant book I read it this week to the infant that in my daycare and he liked the pictures and he liked the words. I think it wanted to put it in mouth more. I personally thought it was great nice clear pictures along with words and it was short for an infant to keep their attention.

Peter uses big illustrations and easy child friendly words to reinforce animal vocab.
