Life's little explorers, in only a few months, learn to recognise and enjoy books.
Children learn very quickly to approach books in a physical, sensory way.
They discover them, explore them from every angle, cling to them, suck them, chew them and eat them. The baby has understood that the book's words express the world and, to begin with, the mother, father and all those surrounding the baby. It is precisely for this reason that the print sellers have had so much success with babies. They spell out the real, the everyday and make the things and people associated with them present. Books, at the dawn of life, open on to an area as big as the giant of Zeralda, as colourful as the tall stories and as magical and as lively as all those works with holes, pull tabs and hiding places.
