This is a wonderfully festive new cot book for use with babies from birth onwards, designed to provide visual stimulation. The book entirely folds out concertina-style to a double-sided frieze which can be fixed to the inside of a cot using the Velcro tabs attached.

As babies' focus develops a greater ability to identify colour tones and shades emerges, and so the reverse shows a bright Yuletide scene with Santa and his elves.
