Why it makes a great gift
A cheap way to add a story to the bath routine without ruining a real book.
Newborns see strong contrast best, so this is one of the few books a brand-new baby actually looks at.
A first book a baby can handle on their own, and it survives drool and the washing machine.
For blanket forts, camping and reading after lights-out, and it keeps both hands free.
