The Tiny Love Black & White Double Sided Book is a soft, foldable first book designed to give newborns something interesting to look at during tummy time, and to keep offering new things to explore as they grow. Its dual-stage design pairs high-contrast black-and-white pictures on one side with softly coloured scenes on the other, so the same book stays relevant from those early weeks of visual focus right through to grasping, crinkling and peek-a-boo play.
Because it's lightweight and folds flat, it's easy to prop up on the floor at home or tuck into a bag for time out and about. Alongside the visuals, it brings together crinkly pages, satin ribbons, textures and a peek-a-boo rainbow flap, giving little hands plenty to reach for, feel and discover.
Two stages in one book
Newborns see high contrast most clearly, which is why one side uses bold black-and-white shapes and characters to catch a young baby's gaze. As your baby gets older and starts noticing more, the coloured side offers gentler, more detailed scenes to look at. It's a simple way to get more use out of a single toy across those fast-changing first months.
Made for tummy time and hands-on play
Set up in front of your baby, the book gives a reason to lift and hold their head during tummy time — an easy way to encourage those longer stretches on the tummy that help build neck and shoulder strength. Once your baby starts reaching and grabbing, the satin ribbons, textured pages and crinkly peek-a-boo flap invite grasping, pulling and exploring, with a mirror and friendly characters to keep their attention.
How to use it
The book grows with your baby, so how you use it changes with each stage:
0–3+ months · Visual stimulation
Place the book at a comfortable distance from your baby (around 8–12 inches / 20–30 cm) and let them focus their gaze on the contrasting shapes and the mirror.
0–6+ months · Tummy time
Lay your baby on their tummy with the book within reach, and let them explore it with their eyes, hands and mouth.
3+ months · Fine motor play
Let your baby discover the different activities — the satin ribbons, the crinkly peek-a-boo flap and more — to practise using their fingers and hands.
5+ months · Peek-a-boo
Play peek-a-boo with the rainbow flap to help your baby start to grasp the idea of object permanence.
Best for
The Tiny Love Black & White Double Sided Book is a great option for parents who:
- Want a first book that suits a newborn and keeps offering more as baby grows
- Are looking for something to make tummy time more engaging

Pandylane Pro Tip: Prop the black-and-white side open in front of your baby during floor time and get down at their level too — chatting and responding to what catches their eye does as much as the toy itself.
