Children's board book reviews for babies and toddlers

The Urban Babies Wear Black series continues to come up with new ways to categorize babies within the context of small board books with simple illustrations and text. The newest installment, Artsy Babies Wear Paint, is perfectly in line with its successors. Here, readers learn about little ones who are drawn to art and artistic endeavors, expressing themselves with paint, clay, and—of course—by being “au natural.” Click here for more of the curledupkids.com book review of Michelle Sinclair Colman and Nathalie Dion's Artsy Babies Wear Paint (An Urban Babies Wear Black Book).
